177 Tons and tons of bitter wine into the throat
Although the preliminary examination was passed, the impact of the insect plague continued.
The Sherman Empire seized the opportunity to attack the new Federation, and the two sides were diplomatically engaged and bombarded each other, which was about to turn into a full-scale war.
The interstellar discourse power that was originally dominated by the new federation has been regained by the Sherman Empire because of the impact of the worm burial incident.
At least many medium-sized countries have maintained neutrality between Sherman and the new Federation, rather than waving their flags behind the New Federation as they did before.
After a small fight with the bugs, the people inevitably fell into panic, fearing that the bugs would make a comeback.
Panic is the greatest enemy of social order.
In order to appease the people, Yang Luo and Edwang discussed it and began to act separately.
One is the main country for internal security, and the other is the main for economic development.
As a medium-sized country, the airspace crossed by Luofeng is not large, but it is definitely not small.
so that the people who fall into the wind can sleep;
In order to prevent the wind from being knocked down by the panic after the insect plague;
The momentum of the regional self-inspection activity kicked off.
The event, initiated by the military, is expected to take a month, and the four major defense ship groups will carefully examine each barren planet and regularly publish detailed planetary safety reports through the official website of the royal family.
At the same time, the military of the Falling Wind Empire announced in a high-profile manner:
It will take ten years to build a comprehensive planetary monitoring and defense system;
formation of the 5th and 6th Defensive Ship Regiments;
Vigorously develop effective anti-personnel weapons against the Zerg.
By the way, Yang Luo found some expert consultants to popularize the knowledge of the Zerg to the people through portals, live broadcast platforms, and radio channels.
The unknown is the most frightening thing.
Let everyone know about the Zerg and understand that there will inevitably be a continuous war between human civilization and the Zerg every few hundred years, which is naturally conducive to eliminating panic.
A few axes fell, and most of the panic in the Falling Wind Empire dissipated.
By the way, Yang Luo has already begun to plan the 'insect plague tax'.
It's not that he wants to find an opportunity to be greedy for money, Boss Yang, who is sitting on Molly Miss and Dark Star, has no concept of money at all now.
What he wants to do is to give Falling Wind a stronger and more comprehensive fleet.
The fleet was not built overnight, and the current military strength in the Falling Wind Empire was only a minor upgrade after unifying the warlords who were originally separate.
If you want to make a big leap, you must have enough time and public support.
This insect plague did give the Falling Wind Empire an excuse to expand its army reasonably, and this move was also supported by the Sherman Empire.
What to do when you have a strong regiment?
Naturally, it is to expand the territory, absorb the population, first annex the military alliance of the three small countries around it, and then include more administrative stars towards the periphery.
Therefore, from this point of view, Yang Luo hopes that a full-scale war will break out between Sherman and the New Federation, but the timing of the outbreak of this war is best pushed back.
The Falling Wind Empire is not ready to expand right now.
Yang Luo was in charge of domestic security, and Edwang began to continue to make his presence felt on the international stage.
Edwan followed closely behind the Sherman Empire and gently accused the New Federation of being responsible for the insect plague.
He didn't dare to speak too fiercely, let alone directly put pressure on the new Federation, but only made his attitude clear, so as to mix up some aid and benefits on the side of the Sherman Suzerain.
Then, Edwang began to play the safe card.
The video of Luofeng and his allies' ships annihilating the 'powerful Zerg' has become Edwang's trump card weapon for attracting investment.
Today's Luofeng Empire has excellent military strength, a stable political environment, and strong foreign aid from the Sherman Empire, but its economy is still in a downturn and contains huge business opportunities.
The two of them were busy for four or five days, trying their best to minimize the impact of the insect plague.
Yang Luo attended the memorial service for the soldiers killed in the Luofeng Empire.
In the private memorial service, a major, however, stood in front of several generals and took off his hat and saluted together.
Among the hundreds of high-ranking officers at the scene, only more than 10 of them who had recently been promoted showed shock.
After the memorial service, Yang Luo pulled Gutun Maha, Dabiqi, Felimon, and three representatives of the allied military together for a small meeting.
Yang gave them a few words of encouragement, and then began to check the accounts of the various armies.
The generals present, except for Gutun Maha and Felimon, were all Yang Luo's 'sons', and there was naturally no problem with their accounts.
And Gutun Maha has also converged a lot in recent years, and the accounts he took out are quite beautiful.
But it was Felimon's turn.
There was a subtle change in the old general's expression.
Yang wondered, "General Felimont, are you short of money?" ”
"Oh, of course not," Felimon explained, standing up a little nervously and frowning, "but the military expenses of the royal guards, which have always been directly managed by the royal family, are usually lacking. ”
Yang Luo's brows furrowed slightly, and several generals led by 'Leon' Dabich hurriedly got up and bowed their heads and said nothing.
Gutun Maha looked left and right, and felt that if he didn't stand up, it would be a bit of a big deal, so he stood up honestly.
Yang Luo asked: "Edwang doesn't even have a wife, can the palace spend so much money?" ”
Felimon muttered a few times: "The royal family is not only the current majesty, but also some widows of the previous emperors, in fact, according to the rules set by the founding emperor, the resources enjoyed by the royal family now have seriously exceeded the standard, but this is already a matter of convention. To be precise, it is a part of the royal family's expenses, which are allocated in the form of military expenses for the royal guards, and then distributed. ”
Yang Luo nodded, sinking into his chair and thinking.
"Find an opportunity to remind Edwang that the royal family can save this part of the money to support the economic construction of the Fifth Administrative Star."
"Okay," Fremont breathed a sigh of relief.
Gutun Maha said, "Lord Yang Luo, there is something, maybe I should remind you. ”
"Speak."
"His Majesty Edwan has a lot of trust in you today, but that trust is destined to change over time."
Gutun Maha said in a deep voice:
"No emperor will allow a minister to exist."
General Felimon frowned at Gutun Maha, who just bowed his head and said nothing.
Just a ground general, Gutun Maha didn't care.
Dabic also took the opportunity to say: "You really should think about this. ”
Yang Luo nodded slowly and said with a smile: "Okay, there is no need to discuss this issue much, we have all the military forces at our disposal, and the fate of Luofeng will be decided by us." ”
He pondered and added two more sentences.
"Edwang is my dear friend, the emperor of this country, and the signature against the Sherman Empire."
"He has a dream, and I'm helping him make it happen."
"I don't like politics, he doesn't like military, so we can complement each other, as for the imperial power can't tolerate the ministers, guess what, what is Edwang's dream?"
Felimon said, "Revolutionize the imperial system." ”
"This is a secret, you just need to know it in your own hearts."
Yang Luo summed it up simply:
"In short, no matter how the politics of Luofeng evolve in the future, as long as it is based on the people's livelihood, good for the people, sustainable development, and overall within a controllable range, then there is no need to interfere, control the ship group, and the politics will be up to us at any time."
"Yes."
Inside the Darkstar One Integrated Supply Ship.
"Cheers!"
In the sound of ding, the official members of the Feinan and the temporary members clinked glasses together.
026 drank two glasses of sweet wine favored by the Sherman aristocracy, and his little face turned red.
Obviously, the liver's metabolic capacity is slightly insufficient.
Ritsu used a mechanical guard with a bow on his forehead as his 'body' to participate in the drinking party, and the glass was not dessert wine, but high-grade engine oil and lubricants.
Hera's mood had noticeably recovered.
With the shielding device in place, Hera has been temporarily isolated from the Zerg and can move freely.
She had just arrived from Base 2 to attend a small celebration held by Yang Luo.
Participating in this celebration are the four 'human' secondary ancient god lifeforms, the mechanical thinking body created by the high-dimensional civilization, the biologist who was mistaken by the Zerg for the new queen, and the semi-mechanical modified body.
Now, Hera already knows almost all of Yang Luo's secrets, so it is naturally impossible to leave Yang Luo's sight for half a step.
And Hera, after much deliberation, decided to express her thoughts.
"Luo, can I enter your second base?" Hera asked softly.
Yang Luo, who was tasting wine, was stunned and wondered: "It's dark there, what are you going to do there?" It's better to look at the stars and moon in the spaceship. ”
"A sense of security," Hera said softly, "looking at what you're doing at Base Two, I'll be less mentally burdened when I conduct bug experiments." ”
The corners of Yang Luo's mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly emphasized: "I'm not engaged in a smart machine crisis, these are all mechanical thinking bodies, and each of them has a one-key headshot device." ”
Hera shrugged.
Put my lab at Base 2, you can come and see me whenever you want.
"We are still excellent partners who are not limited to emotional communication, and I want to carry out some experiments against insect swarms, and transform the results of previous experiments into military and civilian equipment."
"I thought about it for a few days and got out of the depression of my previous thoughts."
"We are all human beings, as long as we believe we are human beings."
Yang Luo was a little speechless, frowning and looking at Hera.
Hera calmly looked at Yang Luo, her eyes were still so clear, and under the clarity was firmness.
Yang Luo frowned and said, "In this case, we will have very little time to get together, and it is impossible to go to Base No. 2 too often." ”
"You can see what I mean," Hera said, "we're going to make fewer appointments, or rather, we're going to stop dating, Lo." ”
"Am I being broken up?"
"You can understand it that way, but we haven't lost each other, and you're the only partner I can accept."
Hera took the initiative to pull Yang Luo's palm forward and said seriously:
"You and I both have our own ideals to strive for, we may not have to be tired of being together all the time like ordinary couples, we don't have this time."
"And I don't want to go through a second time about the insect plague caused by our date."
"I desire you, but I must refrain from it."
"When you miss me, I will comfort you with my greatest tenderness and help you wash away the tiredness of your interstellar journey."
"Is that okay?"
"I want to set up my laboratory at Base 2, I will simultaneously carry out the life exploration of the Zerg and the ancient god lifeforms, you can also arrange some topics for me, but I will give priority to the content I am interested in, and you must also give me enough funds."
After speaking, Hera looked at Yang Luo with some apprehension.
Yang Luo sighed, nodded and agreed, and then hugged Hera hard.
He liked this woman.
I like her wisdom and rationality, I like her clumsiness and boldness.
These two years were his happiest days, well, and his days with Miss Windsor were equally pleasant, but he spent too little time with the former......
The two began to kiss.
Stimulated by alcohol, the kiss became more and more intense.
026 and Ritsu, who were sitting next to him, glanced at each other, each raised his hand to support his forehead, one quietly retreated, and the other disappeared directly.
Fortunately, each ship dedicated to Boss Yang is equipped with a lounge with a soft queen bed and a shielding system.
The next day.
Hera, armed with a shield and several robots, boarded the transport ship back to Base 2.
Yang Luo didn't send her off, as a sign that this was just a normal 'job transfer'
In fact, Yang Luo knew that the opportunities for the two to see each other in the future would become rare, and Hera already wanted to get rid of the identity of a couple and become a purer relationship.
Boss and staff, bed buddy and bed buddy.
He could understand the pressure Hera was under, but he was somewhat depressed, sitting sullenly in front of the Feinan under repair.
"I can still be broken up," Yang Luo muttered, "This woman is simply ......"
Ritsu said with a smile, "Boss, Miss Hera said that you can go to her at any time." ”
"But it's a distinctly different feeling."
Yang Luo opened his palm, a faint red light flashed in his eyes, and dragged a bottle of beer-like drink over, flicked the cork away, and poured his mouth up.
In the sound of tons and tons, Yang Luo's eyes were a little blurred.
He was at the Feinan for a moment, and a cleaning robot slid over and sucked the cork away.
Yang Luo sighed: "Hera thinks that she must respect the Zerg Zerg, what is there to respect? We are human beings, they are enemies, and we will be defeated on both sides. ”
"Boss, I have no intention of interfering in your private life," Ryu muttered, "but you should probably really consider finding a normal human to fall in love with, like Miss Windsor." ”
Yang Luo glared.
"What do you know as a mechanical mind, this is love! Love, do you understand? ”
Ritsu rolled his eyes.
"Compared to this, boss, when are you going to start the next assessment cycle?"
"Wait two months," Yang Luo muttered, "to make up for the time we squeezed out before; There's still a lot of work to do, and I can't just disappear for three months. ”
Ritsu asked, "What about the Sherman Empire?" You said you were going to give them a thank you gift. ”
"Just let the white ghost send a video to praise the generals of the military," Yang Luo sighed.
He misses the days on earth a little bit, and he can sing love songs when he falls out of love.
It's like now, if you want to find a KTV, you can only get a few holographic entertainment modes, a virtual world, and some mechanical thinking bodies as accompaniment.
"Is Kolev busy?"
"He went to a neighboring country to open a factory, and the business activities of the chemical giants are quite intensive."
"Okay," Yang Luo said, "Then the focus of our next work is to make every effort to build a 400-meter-class gunboat, is it too late for us to redesign one?" Or find the existing one, preferably the kind with a main gun of more than three hundred meters. ”
The corners of Ritsu's mouth twitched slightly: "I advise you not to have the idea of creating a small dreadnought, the principle of the three teachers is to protect your boss and your safety, not to directly help the boss conquer the galaxy." ”
Yang Luo smiled: "How do you know if you don't try?" Go and engage in two 400-meter ships, a super gunboat, and a standard cruiser. Don't forget to keep an eye on the Valkyrie's side. ”
"Okay boss, this plan is a little more reliable."
The figure of the law flickered lightly and disappeared, leaving Yang Luo alone to sit there.
Yang exhaled softly and raised the bottle to the Feinan.
"Thanks, old man."
He poured a little wine and continued to pour it into his mouth.
The sweeping robot glides by, quickly sucking up the liquor and drying it.
Yang Luo hummed the tune of his hometown, and some thoughts came to his heart, and he crushed these thoughts.
Now he wants to stay here and get back to the so-called business later.
"That, that"
"Hmm."
Yang turned his head to look at the corner behind him.
026 poked his head out and asked:
"Boss, if there is nothing wrong in the last few days, can I be a tian. Heading home? I want to go back and have a look, and the law will be able to supervise me in half a day. ”
She bit her lower lip slightly.
"Homesick?" Yang Luo asked.
"Hmm."
"Is there a place near your house to sing and entertain?"
"It seems that there is, although it is relatively poor over there, there are still quite a lot of entertainment facilities."
"I'll give you two days off," Yang Luo pointed his finger at 026, "The condition is to take me with you and show me how you entertain." ”
026 tilted his head, a little confused.
Wait a minute, the boss is now falling out of love and in a bad mood, if you accompany the boss well, let the boss feel better.
Opportunity!
An opportunity for a raise!
