It has been a week since Jiang Xingchen won the imperial capital circle of the Kairui Empire.

In a large conference room, dozens of people gathered.

Although this is not a high-level meeting of the Federation, it is not a low level.

In addition to the military department, which convened the meeting, the intelligence services were also the main participants.

"Minister Xue, has there been any progress in the interrogation of Gu Ren and those ministers of the Kairui Empire?"

As the supreme person in charge of this side of the galaxy, Mu Zhengfeng asked.

"Commander Mu, the regular interrogation has not made much progress, and because of the different races, the body structure of the Kairui people is also very different from that of humans, and it will take some time for the Kairui people to be used for drugs similar to the truth elixir."

"However, although the main target is reluctant to speak, there is something very special in the secondary goal."

Xue Qiang shook his head at first, it was obvious that the interrogation was not going well.

But soon, what he said later immediately attracted everyone's attention.

If Minister Xue can be said to be very special information, it is definitely not ordinary information.

"The person who spoke was the deputy of Seth, the Minister of War of the Kerry Empire, named Garr."

"According to him, he had heard Seth mention a place called Hamilton, but there was no such place in the Carey Empire."

So, when he curiously asked Seth where Hamiston was, Seth's reply was that he had forgotten the name and was never allowed to say it again.

"The most important thing is that the reason why Seth said Hamiston is because the two are discussing how to counter the Federation's hyperspace technology."

As far as Gal was concerned, Seth's exact words at the time were... If Hamiston's side can get results as soon as possible, then there is no need to worry. ”

"And according to Brigadier General Jiang Xingchen's speculation before, our intelligence department believes that this place called Hamiston is very likely to be..."

"Where the Carey Empire conducts research on hyperspace technology."

Hearing this, everyone nodded silently, agreeing with Xue Qiang's analysis.

"Xingchen, what do you think?"

"Nine times out of ten!"

"Since this is the case, then please trouble Minister Xue to work harder and find out the location of this Hamiston as soon as possible."

"Understood, I'll speed things up on my side."

Nodding, Xue Qiang said.

However...

At this moment, Jiang Xingchen, who had been muttering for a while, suddenly spoke.

"Commander, I think it's going to be hard to get the information we want from these people."

"Huh? How so? ”

"Because, Gruen didn't kill them!"

Because Grune didn't kill these ministers?

What does that mean?

For a while, everyone was a little puzzled.

However, Xue Qiang, as the leader of the intelligence department, has come back to his senses.

"Brigadier General Jiang, you mean, Glenn didn't think they could leak Hamiston's location, so he didn't kill them?"

"That's right, the situation at that time, even if Gu Ren was stupid, he could judge that they had no possibility of guarding the imperial palace, and the difference was only a matter of time."

Indeed, at that time, most of the defense system of the imperial capital circle was destroyed, and the loss of the Federation was only more than a hundred warships.

At the same time, the Imperial Capital Star was surrounded, and on the Imperial Capital Star, except for some remaining troops on the Imperial Palace side, all the remaining troops had been wiped out.

And finally, plus the fact that there are no support forces ...

Just as Jiang Xingchen said, Gu Ren wanted to repel the Federation fleet or escape from the Imperial Capital Circle.

There is not the slightest possibility of this.

Maybe he can rely on the last strength to hold on to the imperial palace for two hours, three hours...

But the final result of the capture is still unavoidable.

Well, in this case, in order to keep the only Hamiston who can turn the empire around.

His first priority was to silence everyone who knew Hamiston's location.

Even his own life was sacrificed.

Well, even if Gruen spared his life and didn't dare to commit suicide, he didn't kill any of the ministers either.

Only one case makes sense.

That's...

Some of these ministers may know about Hamiston, but none of them should know where Hamiston is.

It is even quite possible that even Gruine himself does not know.

Or did he know the location, but just knowing the location wasn't enough to get into Hamiston?

Couldn't help but quickly analyze several possibilities in Xue Qiang's mind.

Wait a minute...

Suddenly, Xue Qiang seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up.

"Commodore Jiang, so you let Brigadier Mu follow Kyle's fleet in order to..."

"Yes, I was just in case at first, but after the last week, I've become convinced that Kyle is going to take us to Hamilton."

"Is it because he's been wandering around for the last week?"

"Minister Xue seems to understand."

Hearing this, the corners of Jiang Xingchen's mouth raised slightly.

However, the other people in the conference room looked confused.

I didn't understand at all what the conversation between these two people meant.

"Let me tell you, if there is any omission, please add it to Brigadier General Jiang!"

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Minister Xue stood up and said.

Jiang Xingchen nodded slightly.

"First of all, we are based on Brigadier Jiang's previous speculation, that is, the Kairui Empire is conducting research on hyperspace technology, and it is only one step away."

"However, at the moment when the Empire's new warships and production lines have been destroyed, even if hyperspace technology is developed, it is not enough to turn the Empire around."

"After the hyperspace engine is created, it will have to be installed on the battleship to be useful, and the remaining 20,000 capital warships of the empire are now more than 2,000 light-years away at the entrance of the first main spiral arm."

"With such a large fleet, if there is any large-scale movement, we will inevitably find out."

"So, they need other fleets."

"So, what are the remaining fleets of the Kairi Empire now?"

"Three garrison fleets and hundreds of thousands of garrison warships."

"Although there are many garrison warships, their combat effectiveness is very rubbish, and even if they are equipped with hyperspace engines, they can't play much role at all."

"Moreover, in terms of the configuration of those garrison warships, they can't have hyperspace engines at all."

"Therefore, if they want to use the hyperspace engine to turn the tables, they need a warship with strong combat power such as a garrison battleship or a Derek-class battleship."

"However, all the new Derek-class warships in the empire were destroyed by Brigadier Jiang before, and even the production line was destroyed."

"In this case, there are only three garrison fleets in the entire empire, which can meet the corresponding conditions."

"Plus, Kyle's fleet has been wandering around for the past week."

"Obviously, he was worried that someone was following him, so he scared him away, trying to wait until he was sure that no one was following him before he finally went to Hamilston."

Hiss...

When Xue Qiang finished speaking, everyone in the conference room took a hard breath.

If you think about it carefully, there is really nothing wrong with this statement, and every link can be explained.

But...

"What Minister Xue said is basically correct, but I still need to add one point."

"Currently available in the Empire..."

"Maybe it's not just three garrisons!"
