Chapter 12 Meetings (I)
October 14, 2101, Tiandu, headquarters of the Royal Academy. Biography updates
The history of this organization dates back a hundred years, and it was quickly established in the wake of the Planetary Unification War.
Originally, the Royal Academy was a research institute transformed from the military research department of the Empire, also known as the "Royal Research Society", and it is still called by some people today. After a number of years, the war has gradually faded away, and although the research and development of military science and technology has not stopped, various issues related to energy and ecology have also been put on the agenda.
Until today, the Royal Academy has gradually become a purely academic institution, the highest temple of scientists' dreams. On the contrary, the research of military science and technology has become an accessory. Because after the 21st century, people have discovered a problem, when nuclear weapons are invented, human research on weapons of mass destruction should stop, and there is no point in continuing to develop and upgrade stronger weapons, unless your goal is to destroy the planet.
In terms of conventional combat weapons, instead of focusing on the development of weapons, it is better to use the funds to research an emerging technology or develop new energy sources. With the development of a new technology, dozens of new weapons can be spawned in a short period of time, and the same is true for energy. And most importantly, technology and energy can also be developed into civilian technology, not just for killing.
As a result, extremist groups like Evltin and FTRY emerged, separated from the Royal Academy, specializing in homicidal technology in their respective fields, and maintaining a competitive relationship.
Today. The two directors, Adolf and Dzhugashvili, appeared in Tiandu with their respective henchmen to attend a very important meeting, and they did not even know the content of the meeting. There was no wind coming out beforehand. Both directors knew in their hearts that this situation meant that the things to be discussed at the meeting were classified at the highest level, and I am afraid that even paper documents would not be left, and all the content of the meeting could only appear in the minds of the participants, and once any information related to the content of the discussion leaked out, all the attendees would be investigated.
As the so-called road narrowed, Adolf and Dzhugashvili were also arranged to sit next to each other in the conference room. The henchmen of the two, Hess and Malenkov, were lined up behind the two bureau chiefs, and stood meticulously in a military posture. I really don't know if this arrangement was an oversight on the part of the staff or if it was intentional.
Many big names walked into the conference room one after another, Tang Xianyuanqing, the director of E, and the deputy director who was reinstated not long ago. The hero, Joseph Nolan, also walked into the room.
The leaders and brains of the navy, army, and air force all walked in in military uniforms, and these soldiers, who still had medals on their chests in the era of relative peace, seemed to be afraid that others would not know their illustrious military ranks and "great achievements."
The crowd will take their seats. Behind him stood his own henchmen and staff officers. The only lieutenant general in this group was General Ju Sheng of the Tiandu L headquarters, and the "staff officer" standing behind him was Kou Linzai, the drunken lord who put away the gourd he was carrying with him today. There is no drunkenness on his face, and he puts on a serious appearance. Most people didn't recognize him at first sight.
Although Ju Sheng's rank is not as high as others, he has actually fought the most battles here. When those generals relied on collusion with the royal family and nobles. When he was promoted to the rank of a child through actions such as suppressing civilians, Ju Sheng personally led his army to South Africa to fight with the local resistance groups. Even if Ju Sheng is demoted to a company commander now, he is also a grassroots commander who can lead troops and can lead soldiers. And in the same conference room, those generals and staff officers who are so good that they may not even be able to pass the physical fitness test of soldiers, if the empire really let them play with their lives on the front line, maybe they will abscond with their families and money after receiving the order.
An extremely ** regime, and a system that gives birth to **, will give rise to such an army. Biography updates
The closer you are to the layer, the smaller the proportion of capable people, and those who are related to the royal family and nobles will rise quickly, and the so-called people in the court are easy to do. Many truly talented people are not reused, and even if they are capable, they can only stop at the rank of school officer.
Of course, in this world, there is still the existence of "capable people", so there will always be some people who rise to the top without relying on relationships, and the idea of the head person is also very simple, adding officials to those who are capable can ensure their loyalty.
However, the leader of the emperor's ** team is indeed a powerful corner with real materials.
The legendary Generalissimo of the Three Armed Forces, equivalent to the Minister of Defense of the Empire, can give orders to anyone wearing the emperor's ** uniform, whether it is the army directly under the royal family, the army under the name L or the local army, whether it is the navy, air force, army, even if you are the space army, the generalissimo can directly skip the level to command.
Moreover, the choice of the generalissimo was decided by the emperor himself, and only the emperor could remove or change his position. It can be said that it is a real meaning of one person under ten thousand people, and its status is comparable to that of the Ten Heavenly Guards.
Therefore, when Generalissimo Benjamin Smith himself appeared at the meeting, the atmosphere in the venue instantly froze, and no one expected that even the Generalissimo would be there in person. It seems that anything can be discussed at this meeting, including rebellion......
Just when everyone thought that Smith would sit in the chair and start presiding over the meeting, he surprisingly passed by the seat and sat down next to it.
The scheduled start time of the meeting had passed, and the silence in the conference room was suffocating, and everyone sitting around this long table was a well-known person, and there were a few mysterious people who did not wear any uniforms and attended in civilian clothes, sitting in the corresponding position of Smith, very close to the chairmanship, and no one knew them at all, and these people were from those "organizations that do not exist technically at all" that Tianyi had mentioned to the gambling snake.
Twenty minutes passed before I knew it, and some of them had impatient expressions on their faces, some of them had fine beads of sweat oozing from their foreheads, as if the air conditioner in the room had failed, and still others were observing everyone in the room fiercely and unabashedly.
Just ask the present world. Who can afford to let such a group of people sit here and wait?
Tianyi should be counted as one, and so should the consultant, but today's protagonist is not them.
The electronic door to the conference room opened. A blue-haired teenager walked in, his face had not faded away from his youthful childishness, but the momentum revealed between his eyes and eyebrows was like an abyss, making it impossible to look at directly.
His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince was gentle and elegant, with an extraordinary bearing, wearing a pure white sè L special agent uniform, and the back of his dress did not have the words "Wang Quan Wu" printed on the back at all. If someone else dared to do this, it would be light to be thrown into prison as a political prisoner, but he has no scruples.
An old man with glasses respectfully followed behind His Royal Highness the Prince, and walked in like a eunuch who followed him. Everyone around the conference table knew him. That is the current president of the Royal Academy, Han Jiuyan.
For some reason, when the tea fairy walked in, everyone stood up. Those who have a higher position than the tea fairy in L, and the generals who are invincible in their respective armies. Marshal Smith, the heads of various high-authority organizations, and even the heads of those mysterious departments, all stood up without exception.
The tea fairy came to the chair of the conference table. Sitting down as a matter of course, his gaze was indifferent. As expected, the cold wind swept at everyone present. Then, in a voice that everyone could hear, he said, "Everyone, please sit down." ”
After those big names sat down again, the tea fairy spoke: "As you can see, today's meeting, I will preside over it, this is the direct authorization of my father, if anyone has any objections, please raise it now." ”
The audience was silent, and at this moment, if you want to fart, you have to hold back.
Ten seconds later, the tea fairy said again, "Very well, then before we start the formal discussion, I have to state a few things. As for what I have to say, many of you must already know it. But there will always be some cadaveric vegetarian meals...... I'm sorry, those people may not understand this sentence, let me put it bluntly, there will always be some incompetent, dull, stupid people who think that the world is still peaceful and can rest easy.
So please forgive me for wasting some of your time to reiterate these things. ”
He paused slightly, and in the past two seconds, the expressions of everyone present could not escape his discernment.
"The war has broken out, and it is not an armed military operation in a region by a rebel group, but a very purposeful and simultaneous global campaign of regime subversion, the scale and impact of which is the most serious since the establishment of the Empire. As it stands, we are already at a disadvantage in the war, and even if we win the final victory, we will not be able to fully regain control of certain areas in a short period of time.
Some of the rebel groups, which have been transformed into local regimes and have a very solid economic and military base, like many newly established regimes, are clearly more concerned with people's livelihood than we are, or at least superficially, and are therefore embraced by the local population, and even in other regions.
I can say bluntly that we are already in a state of political invincibility, and at this point we are trying to remedy it with reforms and the like, which is completely in vain. So, in the military, the empire must win.
And purely from a military point of view, the current form is still very unoptimistic. After the capture of both Oak County and Crown County, Crystal County, where L's European headquarters are located, was naturally lost in the siege, which can be regarded as a landmark victory for the Iron Commandment. In the battles since then, our army can be said to have been defeated on all fronts, and the Iron Ring swept across Europe like a sweep.
At present, the main army of Europe has retreated to northern Europe, with Helsingborg and Malmö as key cities on the western front, and the rebels on the Øresund Strait as the boundary;
The 90 divisions of the Golden Lion, since they escaped the English Channel, have been applying for a retreat from the sea every day, and this army ......"
The tea fairy suddenly looked directly at a certain general at the conference table: "General Rensted, is it your direct army?"
90 is the main force in Western Europe, and Rensted was promoted all the way to this army, but long before this force came into contact with the rebels head-on, Rensted himself applied for a transfer to Tiandu through the relationship between the DPRK and China.
"This ...... Your Highness. He had been transferred from his post not long ago......" Rensted replied.
The tea fairy interrupted, "Before answering my question, you'd better think about it. ”
The air seemed to freeze, and Rentsted's cold sweat ran down his cheeks, and he cursed himself for being an idiot. His Royal Highness the Prince has asked you this question, will he still not know the details of your background and the tricks you are playing? Who are you fooling? After leading the troops for so many years, and changing commanders before the war, you still want to shift the responsibility to the next commander? Could it be that your replacement is named Camacho?
"Humble ...... There is no way to lead the troops......" Rensted's eyes flashed with fear, his tone was like begging for mercy, and the words he said had no substance or meaning.
"General, you don't have to blame yourself. The tea fairy smiled warmly, but this expression only seemed frightening to others: "I have already transferred your military registration back to the 90th department." You can go to Golden Lion County and retake your troops. ”
Everyone understood that this was for Rensted to die, and he himself was no exception. However, Rensted knew that there was not necessarily room for maneuver in this matter, and he only needed to buy some time and take advantage of his connections in the DPRK and China......
Before Lunsted could figure out what to say. Cha Xian continued: "Your special plane will take off at the airport in twenty minutes, and you don't have to attend the next meeting, general, and leave immediately." ”
"This ......" Rensted's face turned white: "I ...... Your Highness. At least let me go home and say goodbye to my family......"
"These trifles, the general does not need to bother. The tea fairy said calmly: "Your way to the meeting." I've already sent someone to do it. Your wife and three children, and your children's children. It's all on the plane, and they're going to distract you if they stay in Tiandu. As for luggage...... I've got you ready, too, so you don't have to go home and tidy up.
Your real estate and some of the assets that were transferred to Tiandu not long ago, oh by the way, and those five or six girls who had an affair with you and are old enough to be your granddaughter, aren't they your family?
I will keep and take care of these things and people for you, please rest assured general. As he spoke, he pressed the communication switch at hand, "Someone, send General Rensted to the airport, and ensure the safety of the general." ”
The electronic door opened, and the two soldiers walked in, not much nonsense at all, and went straight to Rensted's location, which was obviously arranged by the tea fairy a long time ago.
"You ......" Lunsted suppressed his anger and horror, and the flesh of his face twitched: "Your Highness...... I ...... with Master Claes."
"What did you say?" The tea fairy raised his voice at the moment when the other party mentioned the name Claes, and said sharply, "You want to use a nobleman's name to intimidate me?"
"Don't dare to ...... it" Rensted lost his mind a little just now, and at this moment, under the forced gaze of the tea fairy, he realized that he had said the most undesirable thing.
"In front of me, you call a nobleman a lord?" the tea fairy stood up and walked slowly towards Rensted, pausing as he passed by the waiter, "Hero, Joseph Nolan. ”
Shi Shi turned his face, and in his tone, there was only awe left: "What does Your Highness command?" ”
"Who am I. "It's a question, but the tea fairy doesn't seem to be asking.
Shi Shi understands that he is no longer the special agent of the L, and perhaps, he is no longer his friend: "The Seventh Prince, His Royal Highness Krauser Wittstock. His words seemed to have carved an epitaph for the title of tea fairy.
Krause, walking up to Rensted, who was already faceless.
"Is this empire surnamed Wittstockk, or is it surnamed Claes?" he asked in a cold tone.
"Yes...... Yes......" Rensted was not unaware of the answer, but speechless.
"I know you have some friendship with Claes. Krauser said, turning his face to the conference table: "Many people have a relationship with the Chryse family. This sentence was for everyone present, and at least a dozen bigwigs tightened their throats after hearing this......
"But Claes can't help you, he's him, you're you. Krauser said: "Claes's family is dead, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
It's crazy!
No one thought that they would still hear this kind of line when they came to the meeting today, and if they knew, they would definitely be sick at home, no...... Self-harm at home, and never come to such meetings.
"Take it away. Krauser ordered the two soldiers.
Rönsted was dragged out, and after that day, he and his family were never seen in Tiandu again.
Krauser returned to his seat and continued the subject that had been interrupted by himself: "To put it bluntly, Europe is finished. Africa ......" he shook his head: "Again, there is no hope, it is only a matter of time before the Yanwu Alliance and the Iron Commandment meet in North Africa. Our main forces should be placed in Asia and the Americas, where the situation is still unstable and there is still room for holding out and counterattacking.
Now, that is the situation we are facing, and next, we are going to formally start discussing some substantive topics. ”
He raised his left hand and waved his finger casually, Han Jiuyan took a step forward and said, "First of all, I want to release a piece of information, about the killing of Tosaka, one of the Ten Heavenly Guards, a few months ago, in that incident, we got one thing, that is, the bullet that directly killed Tosaka.
After this period of research, the raw material of this bullet was confirmed to be a metal that had never been recorded in the database, tentatively named - unknown material α. "To be continued.
