Chapter 62: A Meeting in Both Directions
Slowly walked into the spacious and grand conference hall, which is modeled after the conference hall built on Terra, in this complex full of Roman buildings has a conference hall full of opulence and wealth, I have to say, the sense of contrast is always a thing that makes people feel quite fantastical.
Looking at the already densely packed seats in the conference room, and seeing that those who sat in the seats were wearing uniform uniforms.
Chen Guo, who was dressed in casual clothes, looked a little out of place.
However, fortunately, no one dared to point fingers at him, even if his military rank was not the highest in this chamber, and the army under his command was directly classified as cannon fodder.
But at this moment, no one dared to underestimate him.
The reason is because of the deliberate conduction of some well-intentioned people.
The entire Macurag, and even half of the five hundred worlds of Otlama already know.
Their Lord Protector, in the course of a battle, had a verbal conflict with this marshal for unknown reasons, and as the conflict escalated, the two fought without the slightest concern.
And His Excellency the Marshal relied on his own strong strength to seriously wound the powerful genetic body, His Excellency the Protector of the Country, and was near death.
If it weren't for the regent St. Giles who arrived in time to save His Excellency the Lord Protector.
Then, the protector of the Second Empire, the genetic prototype of the Dark Angel Legion, and the Lion King, will become the first commander of the three commanders of the Second Empire to die in battle.
or died at the hands of his own people.
Slowly sitting on the marshal's throne with his name written on it, Chen Guo looked bored at Kiliman, who was sitting on the stage and kept writing and drawing.
And, of course, St. Giles, who sat next to Killiman with a smile on his face...... I don't know and think he's a large vase.
As for the empty space on the other side of it...... Don't think about it, it must belong to Laiang.
It's just that at this moment, even if he has almost recovered, it is estimated that he will not appear here......
After a long while, Killiman raised his head, and he glanced at Chen Guo and St. Giles beside him whispering a few words.
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
The latter immediately put away the smile on his face, reached for the hammer in his hand, and struck twice on a tray made of unknown wood.
A crisp and loud crash echoed through the massive conference hall.
But obviously, this set of actions seems a bit redundant, because the whole conference hall is silent, but this is a necessary ritual, even if you want to omit it, you can't omit it.
"Silence! First Military Council of the Second Reich ......"
Listening to Killiman and St. Giles singing and issuing all kinds of decrees, Chen Guo knew that today's so-called meeting was nothing more than a meaningless ritual process, and everything had already been prescribed.
Because, without the existence of the Council of High Lords, Kiliman, the Prime Minister of the Empire, the top diplomat and politician of the Second Empire, is equivalent to the emperor of the Second Empire.
In particular, the titular ruler of the Second Empire, the regent - St. Giles almost wore the same pants as Kiliman, so almost the entire Second Empire became Kiliman's word.
If such a huge power were placed on the body of a mortal, the outcome would have been almost predetermined, and the destruction of the Second Empire was only a matter of time.
But if it is for Killiman, who can handle all government affairs efficiently, does not have much sense of power, and has lofty ideals, he will be the de facto controller of this empire, and he will personally design and implement every decree and system of the empire...... Well, maybe the future is really promising.
Chen Guo shook his head and threw aside the image he had imagined in his mind...... Even if Kiliman were to be the master of the Second Empire, the Second Empire would be nothing more than a short-lived and prosperous empire after all.
Beautiful but ephemeral!
Although it is said that every genetic prototype has an infinite lifespan, there is no one in this universe who is immortal.
Even the existence of an emperor is not forced to sit on the golden toilet "forever" because of some "small accidents"?
Even with Kiliman, the Second Empire could survive forever.
But if something happens to Killiman, who will continue to lead the empire?
"Dongdong Dong~"
While Chen Guo's brain was thinking wildly, St. Giles once again knocked down the hammer on the table, and as the crisp and pleasant sound of the hammer fell, the huge and silent conference hall suddenly began to become noisy.
Is the meeting over?
Chen Guo stood up and prepared to leave, but the officers of the two military headquarters did not know when they came to him and blocked his way.
"What? Something? ”
Chen Guo looked at the two people in front of him, and he already knew it in his heart!
"Marshal Chen Guo, this is an order from the military department, asking you to lead the punishment legion that has just been assembled to destroy the pirate fleet that has been sneaking up on the imperial supply lines!"
The officer on the left took out a thick document from behind his armor and placed it in front of Chen Guo.
"Huh!"
Do you want me to do this kind of thing to clean up pirates?
It seems that Shirley has succeeded!
Chen Guo sneered and didn't go to the next document, but deep down he was already laughing happily.
What a pirate fleet there is!
In the realm of the Five Hundred Worlds of Otlama, especially in the current situation, how could any pirate fleet have the audacity to attack the supply lines of the Second Empire?
Yes, you guessed it right, it was all Shirley's hand!
As a star god, even if it was just a star god fragment, it was too easy for Shirley to destroy some supply fleets.
And under Chen Guo's guidance, she did it very cleanly, not only ate all the live mouths, but also threw all the spaceships into the nearest star, destroying the corpses.
In this way, in a few months, more than a dozen supply fleets inexplicably evaporated from the universe, and along with the two Ultramarines who came to protect them, there were even seven or eight heavy cruisers.
For the slightly huge Second Empire, losing a dozen supply fleets is not a big deal, but the evaporation of two main fleets in one breath is a very serious matter!
When this document was delivered to Kiliman's desk, he thought it was a rebel legion that had not left the five hundred worlds of Otlama, so he sent a large fleet to search for it.
But Shirley was so clean that they all came to naught...... After all, no one would go to a nearby star to find the wreckage of a spaceship that had completely merged with the star.
Sure enough, just as Chen Guo expected, the search team that returned in vain aroused Kiliman's vigilance even more!
He began to send more fleets to search and scout, but to no avail, as if the missing fleets had really disappeared from this world......
Killiman is not a master who gives up easily, but it is clear that those ships will not be found by conventional means at this time!
But one day, Kiliman's mind inexplicably appeared in Chen Guo's figure, and Chen Guo's figure couldn't be shaken off no matter how he got rid of it, until he finally decided that Chen Guo was the best person to carry out this task.
After a brief discussion with St. Giles and Lyon, the trio decided to send Chen Guo on this mission, testing Chen Guo's loyalty to the empire and transferring him out of the political center of Maculag.
The Second Empire is big and big, small and small, it is enough to have the three giants of the gene prototype, and a monster like Chen Guo, whose strength far exceeds that of ordinary genetic prototypes, let him go out and be cannon fodder!
Killiman has the highest authority for the Explosive Collar.
Therefore, Kiliman was not at all worried that Chen Guo would take these penal legions for himself and set himself up as a warlord and start a war with the Second Empire.
"I repeat, this kind of task of clearing pirates is not worthy of me!"
"Your Excellency, this is an order from the Ministry of Military Affairs, do you want to disobey?"
Seeing Killiman and St. Giles, who had not yet walked away on the high platform, Chen Guo ignored the two military affairs officers in front of him, picked up the documents on the table and walked towards Killiman on the high platform.
"You ......"
"I'm sorry, but this is the result of our unanimous discussion, and after careful consideration, we are sure that only you are capable of this order!"
"Pirates, can't you send a few patrol legions over yourself?
It's just a few little pirates, is it necessary for me to make a trip? ”
Although Chen Guo wished to leave here immediately now, he still had to do a good job on the surface.
"This isn't a little pirate!" Kiriman shook his head and said with a cautious face, "According to the information we have inquired, we suspect that there should be a rebel legion wandering in the five hundred worlds of Otlama.
Not long ago, I sent two main battle fleets, but they were as obscure as the cargo ships, and they disappeared from the world as if they had never existed......
When Killiman said this, St. Giles suddenly interrupted: "Your Excellency Chen Guo, I have discussed with Your Excellency the Prime Minister, as long as you can smoothly ensure the smooth supply routes of the Second Empire, we are willing to transfer a mechanical ark in our hands to you in advance!" ”
"What is an early transfer?
That's what I deserved, and that's what I agreed with Killiman before? ”
Chen Guo's face was full of reluctance, and he was unwilling to carry out this task.
But the more he looked, the more Killiman and St. Giles wanted him to carry it out.
Therefore, the two sides talked back and forth for a long time, but they couldn't convince each other immediately, until Chen Guo saw that the time was almost up, so he began to talk about the price.
"What do you want?"
"Fleet, armament and supplies, a lot of supplies."
"How much?"
"Two more battleships!"
"Impossible!"
"Two, not one!"
Finally, after asking for a sufficient amount of weapons, equipment and supplies, Chen Guo reluctantly accepted this task.
Looking at the back of Chen Guo leaving, Killiman and St. Giles often breathed a sigh of relief, and finally transferred this damn guy away.
Chen Guo left the conference hall all the time, and after returning to Des and them, he was very satisfied and threw away the documents in his hand.
Finally, he was able to leave this hellish place with a lot of gains, especially since he had also obtained an army of millions of people!
Of course, if Kiliman hadn't played a trick this time, he would have obtained a complete mechanical ark!
"Now, let's see if there are any winners among these penal armies that are worth keeping!"
