244 The tide is coming
[Top Secret Intelligence].
Late at night, Atro looked at the documents in front of him and gradually fell into deep thought.
He glanced at the woman lying next to him, turned over and stepped out of the soft bed, opened the shielded private room, and carefully studied the encrypted file he had just received.
"Sir"
The woman on the bed grumbled dissatisfiedly.
"Shut up," Atro said with a frown, "there's business." ”
The woman immediately stopped snorting, lay back on the bed, and continued to read messages boringly.
Atro had to wait for it at the moment, because the document had just been sent by Hanton, the white ghost.
There was no message, no hints, just a file shoehorned into him.
What do you mean?
Top Secret Intelligence?
Could it be that the wrong contact was sent? Do you want to ask yourself? But to ask directly, does it seem too proactive? Could it be that the white ghost means to let yourself try to crack this encrypted file, which can be regarded as a test of yourself?
When it came to his own future, Atro didn't dare to be careless, and after thinking about it, he still clicked out the dialog box and considered kissing a few times.
'You are.
The White Ghost sent a video invitation!
Astro answered immediately with a shake of his hand, and subconsciously sat up straight, his eyes completely clear.
"Good evening, Lieutenant Colonel," Yang Luo seemed to be on the rooftop, with hollow and bright city lights behind him, "Did you receive the document you just gave you?" ”
"Yes, I did," Atro cleared his throat, "it looks like an encrypted file." ”
Yang Luo smiled: "After we finish talking, you can get the dynamic password." ”
"Uh, is it a major matter related to the Empire?"
"To be precise, this is a credit," Yang Luo said, "reminding the empire to prepare early, and to have detailed theoretical evidence to support it." I was hesitating a few minutes ago about whether to give this credit directly to Lieutenant General Thomas, who I had several exchanges with, or to Captain Gris, but in the end, I chose to give it to you, Lieutenant Colonel. ”
Atro reacted immediately, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The MIA thanks Mr. White Ghost for his trust. ”
"I've never been stingy with my friends," Yang Luo said with a smile, "I have a few questions for the lieutenant colonel, and if the lieutenant colonel can help me, it would be great." ”
Atro immediately said, "I must know everything, Mr. Hanton, to be friends with a legendary hero like you is the greatest honor of my life so far. ”
"Friends don't have to discuss this, we should discuss hobbies."
Yang Luo squinted and smiled:
"My problem isn't very difficult."
"First question, I want to know how the Empire views Valkyries, and if there are disagreements within the Empire on this matter, I want to know which group has what opinions."
"Valkyrie."
Atro frowned slightly and asked rhetorically, "That seems to be your enemy?" ”
"Yes, but it's not a mortal enemy," Yang Luo lightly downplayed the importance of this matter to him.
Atro thought about it carefully, immediately called up some of the information at hand, and quickly gave the answer:
"The Valkyrie brewed several tragedies in a row, all of which were shipwrecked and killed, which attracted great attention from above."
"According to the information provided by the Kigrove experimental team, the Valkyrie hates the Empire, she is Kigrove's biological daughter, but she was used as a test subject by her father, and her heart is full of resentment, and Kigrove forcibly preserved the memory of being a mother."
According to the testimony of the experimental team, Kigrove has a much more love for the test than the scientist for the test subject...... It's not nonsense, what father doesn't love his children? ”
"Oh, I mean, it's useless."
Atro sums it up briefly:
"If it's about the attitude of the top of the empire...... The upper echelons of the empire didn't care too much about the existence of the Valkyrie, and the people who handled Valkyrie-related affairs were only to the extent that the person in charge of the Heavenly Fury Fortress was in charge. ”
"They originally wanted to capture the Valkyrie and continue the ancient god cell fusion experiment."
"But later, the Valkyrie escaped by herself, causing her previous efforts to be wasted, much to the annoyance of these generals."
Yang Luo raised his eyebrows slightly.
The upper echelons of the empire did not look directly at the Valkyrie?
"What do the upper echelons of the empire usually pay attention to?"
"Well, the stability of the regime, that's what matters most to the above," Atro said with a smile, "We can discuss this privately, the Empire is now constrained by the House of Elders of the Nobles and the Imperial Military Department, and His Majesty the Emperor will not deal with these trivial matters on a daily basis." ”
Yang Luo asked, "Then the ministers of the various ministries belong to the House of Elders?" I don't know much about the political ecology of the upper echelons of the empire. ”
Atro patiently explained:
"No, the ministers are only loyal to Your Majesty, after the reform of the new calendar, the military and the government are separated, and the army is the foundation of the empire, and it is directly under Your Majesty's orders."
"The ministers of the various ministries are responsible for presiding over the day-to-day affairs of the government, and the different events are graded, and only the highest two levels of government affairs will be submitted upwards to His Majesty."
"The House of Elders is more like a supervisory body, behind the House of Elders are tens of millions of nobles, to speak for the interests of the nobles, and several elders of the House of Elders in front of His Majesty usually play the role of a thorn, so the image is not very good, but that is where their duty lies."
"You can simply think of it as the Imperial Military Department, the House of Elders of the Nobles, and the ministers of various ministries form a triangle of power."
"In addition, there is a special existence that can sit next to His Majesty, that is, the head of religion, the archbishop of every generation of the Imperial God Cult. The full name of the Cult of the Imperial God is the Holy Church of the Development of Civilization in the Sherman Empire, this church is very mysterious, the number is not large, and the sense of presence in other regions of the empire is very low, but it has extremely high power. ”
"Many times, the things that Your Majesty is too lazy to take care of will be subject to the meaning of the archbishop's opening."
"Our military intelligence bureau is an agency directly under the military department."
Note: This is the distribution of power at the top of the empire that appeared when Lieutenant General Thomas was questioned. ,
Yang Luo pondered carefully.
Of course, he had investigated this holy church, and he had heard about it in "The Abyss", but he had never found any valid information.
"You care about that, don't you?"
"Well," Yang Luo said with a smile, "My current goal in life is to become a great nobleman of the empire. ”
"Oh? It's a bit tricky," said Atro sincerely, "the Empire has clear laws that prohibit reformers from serving in the government and the military, and they can't get military ranks, but only rely on influence alone to accumulate fame, and the number of titles they can get is always limited. ”
Yang Luo smiled: "Thank you, this is just my goal, maybe I can achieve it one day." ”
"Of course, it's certainly possible, oh I mean...... Hanton, you're a miracle worker yourself. ”
"Okay, Lieutenant Colonel, we don't need to engage in these hypocritical politeness," Yang Luo said slowly, "What we need is to help each other...... The dynamic password has been sent.,Take a closer look.,This information doesn't need to state the source.,I've swiped the screen too many times lately.。 ”
"Business is business, and private is private."
Atro said: "Thank you again for your trust in the Military Intelligence Agency. ”
Yang Luo hung up the communication with a smile.
Chatting with this guy is really a pleasure to be physically and mentally.
He chose to sell his favor to the Military Intelligence Agency because he valued the influence of the Military Intelligence Agency in the empire.
This thing is the galactic version of 'Jinyiwei'.
On the other side, Atro looked at the file that had been automatically unlocked, and when it was opened, it turned out to be a paper.
He wasn't really good at reading this, but at the moment he still chose to take a closer look at it patiently.
Ten minutes later, Atro sat there quietly, his mouth slightly open, and he didn't make a sound.
[In the current history of the galaxy, there have never been more than sixty or seventy swarms wiped out in a row in ten years, but the new Federation's plan to cultivate swarms, and the speed at which the empire is now eradicating swarms, has caused this phenomenon to occur. 】
[There are several high-level insect swarms at the edge of the galaxy, which are constantly absorbing stellar energy in preparation for their own ascension.]
[The number of female worms exterminated by the Empire is about to reach a red line, and the result of touching this red line is to make the outer insect swarms launch a full-scale revenge against the Empire.] 】
[The life level of the space zerg is superior to that of ordinary humans, don't underestimate the biological relationship between them.] 】
[It is possible to reach the red line at any time. 】
Zerg, full revenge?
Atro grabbed the special communicator, a few drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead inexplicably, and he quickly opened up a number to the top.
"Hey, third uncle."
The next day at noon.
Yang Luo, who had slept for a long time, took out the oral gene stabilization pill he carried with him, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed and swallowed it like a jelly bean.
Pull open the bedroom door, and the house is quiet.
Yesterday's relatives left no trace, as if last night's sumptuous family feast was a false bustle.
Captain Catherine accompanies Hanton's mother to go shopping, and Hanton's mother says she wants to give Catherine some jewelry.
Hanton's family background is actually quite good, the interior decoration is also warm and luxurious, this large flat floor living area has two or three hundred square meters, in this kind of small place outside the emperor circle, it is already a very decent family.
This is much richer than the Godoys.
"Ahem, woke up?"
Behind him came the deep and deliberately light voice.
Yang Luo turned around and saw the middle-aged man in pajamas, Hanton's father.
Hanton seems to have been carved out of this uncle's mold, and his appearance and temperament are very similar. In fact, Hanton's father also joined the army and chose to start some small businesses after leaving the army.
Hanton grew up under the tutelage of this middle-aged man, and eventually became a handsome young man who was motivated, motivated, and loyal to the Empire.
After not seeing each other for many years, and goodbye is no longer a thing, Hanton's father was somewhat cramped at the moment, not daring to look at Yang Luo's eyes, and lowered his head to rummage through the tea bag in his hand.
"Would you like something to drink?"
"Anything," Yang Luo walked over with his pocket.
"Well, sit down, let's have a good talk."
Hanton's father skillfully made a pot of tea, glanced at Yang Luo, and then looked at the semi-fixed projection wall on the side.
It's a photo wall with Hanton's growth trajectory from childhood to adulthood.
"How have you been doing these past few years?"
Hanton's father asked softly, and then smiled wryly:
"Look at what I asked, you must have suffered a lot and suffered a lot of sins...... I've seen them all, the videos and all kinds of analysis materials on the Internet. ”
"I didn't expect that my son would one day become a great hero of the empire, save countless lives in the empire, fight bravely against the Zerg, and report so many corrupt officials."
"I'm proud of you, if you need to."
Yang Luo smiled: "Of course it is needed, I attach great importance to these." ”
"That's good," Father Hanton rubbed his nose and took a sip of hot tea, "you still resent the Empire, right?" ”
"There are some."
"Actually, you shouldn't be resentful, son," sighed Father Hanton, "there is nothing we can do to change the individuals, the individuals who have ruined the honor and reputation of the Empire. We live in this country, and we have a stable life because of the protection of the empire......"
Yang Luo asked: "Are these what the staff of the Military Intelligence Agency told you to say?" ”
"Not exactly," said Father Hanton, a little embarrassed, "they are trying to influence you through me, and I personally feel that there is no need to resent my country. ”
Yang Luo sighed: "How about we stop talking about this issue?" It's so intertwined that I can't dedicate myself to the Empire right now. ”
Hanton's father nodded thoughtfully: "Will you continue to report those corrupt officials?" This is what I personally asked. ”
"You support this?"
"Yes, these officials are terrible!" Hanton's father scolded, "They already enjoy local privileges, and they go to illegally collect wealth and suck the blood of the people, they are more damned than worms!"
"Well, I may have disappointed you," Yang Luo said with a wry smile, "I have now joined the organization of the super-reformers, and I have promised the House of Elders that I will not continue to report corrupt officials on the Internet." ”
"Why?"
Hanton's father is colorful:
"If there's something you can do for this country, why not do it? It's legitimate for you to report online, so why should you be targeted? ”
Yang Luo shrugged: "It is not conducive to the image of the government and social stability. ”
"This is ridiculous! You should be a sword that hangs over the heads of those bad officials!"
"This can't be helped," Yang Luo sighed, "but I set up the White Ghost Organization before, and this organization will also become the overseer of local officials. ”
"Deterrence is not enough."
Hanton's father looked sorry and said with a smile:
"You know what? The moment I knew you were the white ghost, I almost jumped with excitement. ”
"My life is mediocre and vulgar, there are no waves, and I haven't suffered too many setbacks, which is very lucky, but I am always a little unwilling in my heart."
"But you, my son, who have inherited the excellent genes of our family, can become a hero that the whole empire is concerned about, this is simply ...... It's like a dream. ”
Buzz, buzz.
Yang Luo's watch vibrated slightly, and two messages popped up on it.
The first message came from Ritsu, saying that there was something unusual on the border of the Sherman Empire, with traces of a large area of spatial jumps, but strangely, the Imperial Border Guards did not find the invading fleet.
What made Lu a little nervous was that the star field where the jump trace was located was not far from the border of the Falling Wind Empire.
'It is likely that the special ships of the new Federation, which are quite numerous, should have entered the territory of the empire. ’
The second message came from Atro.
The MIA is going to hold a high-level confidential meeting on how to deal with the Zerg crisis, and Atro asks Yang Luo if he has time to attend.
Yang Luo immediately gave the other party an affirmative reply.
"Are you going to get busy?" Hanton's father asked softly.
"I'm going to deal with some business," Yang Luo took two sips of tea, "The tea tastes good, I've heard all your career planning suggestions, that, I'll think about it seriously and talk later." ”
Hanton's father nodded hurriedly: "Okay, let's go, let's talk later." ”
Yang Luo turned his head to look at the bedroom when he entered the bedroom, the middle-aged uncle seemed to be a little annoyed by the performance just now, but when he felt Yang Luo's gaze, he immediately sat up straight and showed a warm smile.
"Come on kid, we're proud of you."
Yang Luo squeezed a smile and closed the door casually.
The genes to be heroes don't come from Hanton's family.
This is mostly by the Old Gods.
Meanwhile.
Just in the star field where the law detected the jump fluctuation, one by one the shuttle warships with optical stealth turned on, speeding towards the territory of the empire at high speed, jumping synchronously in dozens of different directions in the predetermined target area.
Ships have no number, no marking, and if there is a risk of being captured alive by the Empire, they will be detonated by a remote guide.
And the target star fields they each went to were all over the provinces of the empire.
