Chapter 13: Infiltration
As Yun Yi expected, not only did they not give encouragement and support before the war, but the royal family, which did not give rewards and support after the war, came this time, and under the impetus of Lin Jiaoyang and some people, the officers and soldiers stationed in the fortress area were completely angered. The five and a half star domains under Lin Jiaoyang's control, in the media's promotion and oral transmission, the people also knew about it, and immediately formed a wave that swept the entire Chu Tang.
It is conceivable that the reason why Chu Xiuling, the crown prince who has not yet ascended the throne, can sit in the entire position now is nothing more than Chu Tianyun's residual prestige.
The voice of opposition to Chu Xiuling quickly spread through the interstellar network from various planets to Chu Tang and the surrounding countries. And most of these places are areas that are not under the control of the Chu and Tang royal families, coupled with Lin Jiaoyang's deliberate indulgence, and the surrounding countries have also begun to secretly promote in order to increase their relationship with Lin Jiaoyang, under the sweep of the huge waves like stormy waves, the reputation of the Chu and Tang royal families has fallen to the lowest point in history.
Moreover, more than one planet has issued a strong call to "support Lin Jiaoyang as emperor".
But for all this, Lin Jiaoyang just pretended not to see it.
After ending that meeting, Lin Jiaoyang, on behalf of the entire Chu-Tang army, protested to the Chu-Tang royal family, resolutely opposing the unconditional release of the captured New Americans. Moreover, without the permission of the royal family, Lin Jiaoyang used two full transport fleets to secretly transport these captives to a secret mining base in the southernmost part of the Xingzhou Star Field, near the Death Shatter Star Belt, and let these captives serve hard labor.
All this, Lin Jiaoyang has announced on the interstellar network. However, the route and target location of the prison fleet were not announced on the grounds of military secrets, and only a very small number of people were in the hands of a very small number of people, which completely cut off the Chu and Tang royal family's intention to release the prisoners. At the same time, Lin Jiaoyang pulled 15 of the 20 fleets under his control to the Unicorn Fortress near the border of New America, and greatly transferred various military transport ships to set up a posture of counterattacking New America.
Lin Jiaoyang's approach immediately frightened the chaebols of New America. They were already anxious about the protests, marches and other activities that had been set off everywhere in the country because of the death of too many soldiers, and they panicked all of a sudden, and sent more than 20 messages in one day asking the diplomatic mission to arrive at the fortress as soon as possible, no matter what the cost, Lin Jiaoyang must be asked to dispel the plan to attack New America.
It seems that they already know who is in charge of the current Chu Tang.
In this way, there was no need for Lin Jiaoyang to do anything more, and the new American diplomatic mission that had originally planned to go to Chang'an immediately turned around and headed in the direction of the Unicorn Fortress, which was expected to arrive in three days.
"Marshal."
Yun Yi walked into Lin Jiaoyang's office, saluted and said, "Are you looking for me?" ”
Lin Jiaoyang, who was busy in front of the light brain, raised his head, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "Just sit down, what have you been busy with these days?" ”
A trace of hesitation flashed from Yun Yi's eyes, and was not seen by Lin Jiaoyang. He replied, "It's all about some companies." The new company that Lan Tian is in charge of has now completed the infrastructure of the three countries of Berwick, the Kingdom of Kamp, and the Kingdom of Ketra, but if he wants to launch it more comprehensively, he feels that it is best to add Chu Tang to it to form a basic high-speed information network of the four countries. ”
"That's it, I've heard you talk about it." Lin Jiaoyang laughed and said: "Although I don't know where you got the technology from, but judging from the description you gave me before, this is completely a cross-era technological change." Since we now have such good conditions, and we are our own company, I will let people notify you when I go back, and let that company directly enter Chutang. I can't guarantee the rest, but there are absolutely no problems with the five and a half star fields under our control. ”
Yun Yi immediately expressed his gratitude, although he knew that if he proposed it, Lin Jiaoyang would not refuse. But he didn't expect Lin Jiaoyang to bring it up first, which made him feel a strong warmth in his heart. In particular, Lin Jiaoyang's sentence of "his own company" made him feel the warmth of home and made him feel ashamed. These days, he is not in charge of any company affairs, but only occasionally contacts Blue Sky to know the progress of some plans. Most of the time, he was with Sakura, modifying and perfecting the knight mecha he designed.
After [Sakura] completed the analysis and calculation of its own data, its strength became extremely powerful, according to [Sakura]'s own inference, its current ability in the Dragon Slayer Society, has surpassed the only intermediate intelligence [Zeus] that was originally responsible for managing all the primary intelligence, theoretically speaking, it is now the most powerful artificial intelligence in the universe. But this is only a theory, and in fact, even [Sakura] herself does not know if there are any other organizations or individuals in this universe besides the Dragon Slayer Society that have artificial intelligence, and even within the Dragon Slayer Society, [Zeus] is not necessarily the most powerful artificial intelligence. What's more, there is also the [God] who is high above, the [God] who is still in the control permission list of [Sakura], which is even higher than Yunyi.
Every time he thought of that [god], Yun Yi felt a sense of tremor and fear surging from the bottom of his heart, which always made him feel small and powerless. Yun Yi clearly remembered that when he first saw the list of [Sakura]'s permissions, the twelve divine generals who were as powerful as Capricorn were only ranked third; The second is the mysterious oracle, and the first is the God.
What kind of existence is the supreme controller of the Dragon Slayer Society, who is two levels higher than the Capricorn God General?
“…… So, this is a task that we have to complete, but I don't want you to risk your life. Now I ask you, would you like to go, or would you not want to go? ”
When Yun Yi came back to his senses, he saw Lin Jiaoyang looking at him calmly, with some expectation and reluctance in his eyes, which made him panic for a while, not knowing what to do. Judging from the second half of the sentence, it seems that when he was talking to Lin Jiaoyang, he was distracted. A moment later, under Lin Jiaoyang's gaze, Yun Yi could only scratch the back of his head like a fool, and said embarrassedly: "Marshal, can you repeat it again?" ”
……
The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who came from Chang'an and read the will from Chu Xiuyu to the fortress, finally couldn't bear this kind of treatment that was even incomparable to a small soldier after being treated with cold reception and contempt. There is no freedom in and out, the food is not as good as the cheapest restaurant on the eight stars in Chang'an, and the people you meet are either white-eyed or disdainful, and there is not even a person to talk to except your own. After Lin Jiaoyang refused to release the prisoners, the fat earl also planned to divide from within the fortress and try to win over some high-ranking officers, but no matter how high the price he paid, or even luring him with the position of a new imperial marshal, he could not get any officer with the rank of major general and deputy chief of staff to say a word to him.
It can be said that the fat earl has become a figure in the fortress that everyone hates and even disdains to communicate with.
In this case, the fat earl knew that it would be useless for him to stay any longer. simply proposed to Lin Jiaoyang to return. In this regard, not only Lin Jiaoyang, but almost all the officers were very happy, as if bidding farewell to a plague god, which made the fat earl grit his teeth with hatred. However, when he was about to get on the boat, Lin Jiaoyang came to see him off in person, and gave him a lot of gifts to bring back to His Royal Highness the Prince. Most of them were trophies, and even included a full command module cut from a broken flagship of New America.
The fat earl was quite satisfied with this, and after saying goodbye to Lin Jiaoyang, he boarded the spaceship with the royal emblem and flew towards Chang'an with ten transport ships full of gifts.
This extremely small fleet was not very fast, and after another week of sailing, it finally arrived at Chang'an.
Stationed in the outer space of the Chang'an system are the two royal fleets of the Chutang Second Fleet and the Fourth Fleet. In order to protect the safety of the Chang'an system, they carried out extremely strict inspections of the spaceships brought by the Fat Earl, and even individual warehouses were required to be opened for inspection. This made the fat earl extremely angry, and the fat earl, who was angry in the unicorn fortress, immediately contacted the crown prince Chu Xiuling, as Chu Xiuling's cronies and maternal uncle, it can be said that he is the most trusted person by Chu Xiuling among all the officials in Chu and Tang, and even Cai Hongzhang, who now holds great power, is not as good as him.
It was the Fourth Fleet that was responsible for inspecting the entry and exit of the fleet, and after being scolded by Chu Xiuling, the Fourth Fleet was quickly released.
In a temporary space base on the periphery of the Chang'an system, Chu Jinglan, the commander of the Fourth Fleet, weakly closed the communicator, looked at the fleet not far from the window that was passing through the checkpoint, and sighed heavily.
Suddenly, he grabbed the red wine on the table, cut off the bottle with one palm, and poured it into his mouth, and a whole bottle of expensive red wine was poured into his stomach like a cow.
"Bang."
casually threw the empty bottle into the corner of the wall and smashed it, Chu Jinglan shook the long flowing hair on his forehead that was wet with wine, and his eyes were red.
"Damn, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's surname Chu, he would have followed him to the Unicorn Fortress, not to mention being angry here, and being despised by those junior officers and soldiers. Damn, do you think Lao Tzu wants to be here! ”
"Childe, please don't say anything about that in the future." The girl who stood silently in the corner stepped forward to put on a trench coat for him, and said with some worry: "If those people hear it, I am afraid that they will be bad for you." ”
"I'm sorry, Xue Lan." Chu Jinglan hugged the girl into his arms and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, Xue Lan, I won't let you worry anymore." If I have the chance, I'll take you out of here......"
……
The Fat Earl's fleet did not go directly to Chang'an 1-star, but entered the port at Chang'an 2-star, where the earl's palace was located. Here, the gifts will be sorted, inspected and registered by the personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs before they are allowed to be sent to Chang'an One Star.
The pier of Chang'an Erxing is deserted, and occasionally there are some hovercars driving through the empty streets. Wars and blockades have rapidly reduced the once prosperous planet to extinction. The materials from the outside can't be delivered, and the people inside can't get out. Although most companies can also rely on the interstellar network to remotely command the branches of other star fields, there is no doubt that such a tight blockade of Chang'an will have an extremely serious impact on the economy of the entire country.
The ships in the berths of the harbor are densely packed, but the vast majority of these ships are private ships that are not allowed to take off. The Chang'an system can't get out, and even if you want to go to other planets, you can only take a crowded and expensive passenger spaceship. But at such a time, how many people are willing to leave their warm homes and go to other planets?
Two dock managers were chatting with each other, their voices low and seemed to be worried about being heard. Behind them, there are ten neatly moored military transport ships, judging by the signs and codes on them, they should belong to the ships of the Unicorn Fortress logistics fleet.
That's right, these ships are the gift that Fat Count brought back from the Unicorn Fortress.
It's just that at this moment, everyone saw that the entrance and exit of one of the spaceships opened silently, and two figures jumped down from it, and then swaggered outside. As soon as they left, the ship's entrance and exit closed automatically, as if it had never been opened. One of the managers who was chatting turned his head to look at the two men, as if he was surprised that someone was still on the dock at this time, but he only glanced at it and continued to turn his head to chat.
The two voices walked unhurriedly across the dock area, into a hovercar parked on the side of the road, and quickly disappeared into the distance.
