343 Trapped by the Falling Wind
In the returning Dongfeng.
Yang Wei listened to the new album released by Her Royal Highness Princess Daphne and browsed the backlog of information in the past few months.
He's in a pretty good mood right now.
The law has been upgraded again, and there is already a 'soft power' that perfectly matches the predecessor of the mechanical thinking body, and now what is lacking is a little hard power - computing power.
Ritsu is sorting out the massive amount of information they brought back at the moment, and for the sake of security, Ritsu is now using only the server cluster in the Dark Star, which is a little slower.
Yang Wei could only rummage through this information by himself.
As for Yang Wei, he used the Dafa of tricking the examiner for a period of time, and he really got a little benefit.
He got the core technology of sub-light flight that can be used by small and medium-sized ships!
In other words, as long as the law digests the massive technology given by the intelligent machine Twilight, there is a high probability that the Feinan will be produced in batches!
Of course, the cost of this kind of spaceship, for the dark star whose technology is not yet mature, will be very expensive, and it can only be used as a special ship, and cannot be mass-produced.
The old man, cough, these three teachers of the intelligent machine Twilight, are still very talkative.
A certain intelligent machine Twilight examiner, who was so annoyed that he almost modified his peace agreement to give Yang Wei a few big blows, silently began to find out if there were any other resonators in the galaxy.
"There's no fighting."
Yang Wei muttered, turning the page of the projected document, the smile on his lips began to slowly converge, and his expression gradually became serious.
In the months of his absence, although Falling Wind, Dark Star, and Saka Star have maintained calm on the surface, there have been some minor problems inside.
Dark Star is the most stable of the three forces, and there is only an uprising of the mind body in the dark capital.
The essence of this uprising is simple, the minds who perceive that the world is imaginary, carry out a protest and demonstration.
They want to know the truth about the world, not to be 'enslaved by low cost' by the government of the dark capital.
It's pretty good, and the minds are all high-spirited, which makes him, the 'father', very pleased.
So Yang Wei gave instructions:
[Let them face the reality, and if they collapse, they will go back to the furnace and rebuild. 】
That's how he used to make decisions.
Compared to the small uprising in the Dark Star Dark Capital, the trouble encountered by Saka Star is relatively tricky.
The aristocracy of the empire was really full of leisure, and after more than a year of repairs, they began to secretly make things for him again.
This time it wasn't the same nobles who did the trouble.
- The small group of nobles led by Prince Kinofu is now eager to get as far away from Saka as possible.
In the final analysis, the nobles who tried to come to Saka Star to provoke were either instigated by the arch fire or received hints from the Imperial Council of Elders.
The House of Elders wants to engage in the White Ghost Heart, and it never dies.
At this stage, Yang Wei's high-level imitation stand-in is in Sakaxing, and Godoy Saka, Hanyin, and Hanxiang appear in various daily affairs, and there is also Revere's help outside Sakaxing, and the overall situation is basically controllable, not to the extent that he has to show up.
Now that he's been released from Twilight, there won't be any major problems in the future.
It's a big deal, just do the same again, and jump to the gang to exchange feelings with these nobles.
But the situation of falling wind made Yang Wei completely unhappy.
A lot of things went bad as he expected.
The old emperor's handwriting was still strong, and the Foreign Affairs Bureau and the Military Department of the Sherman Empire did not directly attack Luofeng, and the Foreign Affairs Bureau also issued a letter of commendation, creating a harmonious scene.
But secretly, several government departments of the empire have begun to cooperate with the Foreign Affairs Bureau.
Multinational companies in the Sherman Empire began to run into frequent trouble, and in just a few months, two large multinational companies had collapsed.
At the same time, the business territory of the Falling Wind Imperial Family began to be frantically plundered by its original competitors, and the interest groups that originally had business dealings with the various group companies under the Falling Wind Imperial Family are now rapidly moving away from the Falling Wind Royal Family-related enterprises.
The instigator behind all this is naturally the government department of the empire.
The new Federation, which has not yet recovered from the aftermath of the war, has taken up a new lid on its back.
"The old emperor is really useless."
Yang Wei sighed.
He concluded that it was still only the Sherman family elite who dominated the Foreign Affairs Bureau that was targeting the downwind now.
These are all resources that can be reasonably mobilized by the Foreign Affairs Bureau.
If the old emperor wants to deal with Luofeng, there is no need to have a set behind the scenes, and the old emperor will most likely directly dispatch more than one battle cluster to be Edwang's escort formation and 'protect' Edwang to go to the Emperor Star to 'play'.
Edwan must be anxious right now.
Yang Wei thought quietly.
Edwan doesn't know much about military affairs, but he is the most sensitive to the economy, and he will work overtime to think until midnight when the wind blows and the economic index declines.
In the past few months, Luofeng's private capital and royal capital have suffered setbacks one after another, which will have a domino effect and directly affect Luofeng's people's livelihood and private enterprises.
So, Yang Wei looked at the analysis progress given by Eye Law and found that it was only 30% completed, so he decided not to disturb the law and dialed the number himself, using the communication equipment on the Dongfeng and the information transfer station of the Dark Star No. 2 base to dial the communication to Edwang.
The busts of the two appeared in front of each other's eyes.
With a pair of dark circles under his eyes, Edwang lowered his head and swept two mouthfuls of food into his mouth, throwing the beautifully shaped lunch box aside.
"You know everything?"
Edwan Road:
"They're starting to strangle our economy, but at this stage it's generally controllable, we still have a lot of foreign exchange reserves, and with the resources and wealth of the United Kingdom of Nonal, we don't have much impact overall."
Yang Wei laughed: "I don't understand the economy, you just look at it, just look at it, and find me if you have difficulties." ”
"What really has an impact is the deterioration of the political environment."
Edwan groaned a few times:
"The various vassal states of the Sherman Empire, it seems, have received orders, and they have begun to draw boundaries with us.
"Although the investment boom that has occurred in our downwind has not subsided, the growth trend has begun to slow down because the external environment has become bad and the countries of the federal camp are constantly criticizing.
"The prices of some of the imported materials necessary for our country have risen to varying degrees, and our trade routes are also under the threat of small groups of pirates.
"The good news is that we have received a large sum of war reparations in the treasury of the United Kingdom of Nonal.
"We won't have too obvious economic problems for the next 10 years, but we're not dependent on that."
Yang Wei said softly: "Can the property of the royal family of the Falling Wind Empire be transferred from the territory of the Sherman Empire to the outside? ”
"No," Edwang shook his head, "most of our investments are in industry, which is highly tied to the local area, and this is also the way that the subject countries use to gain some of the right to speak." ”
Both of them were thinking, and Yang Wei lowered his head and finished flipping through the electronic documents in his hands.
Faced with the economic strangulation of the Sherman Empire, both of them felt a strong pressure.
The other party put everything in the shadows.
Next, the Foreign Affairs Bureau doesn't know which direction it will start from to create more trouble for Luofeng.
"One more thing."
Edwan hesitated, but still spoke:
"You know, we plundered the United Kingdom of Nonar because they were to blame, and because they couldn't threaten us again anytime soon.
"It's a self-defense counterattack, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but if you suck blood in the United Kingdom of Nonar for a long time, it's their people who will suffer in the end...... Is there any difference between us and the Sherman Empire?
"Well, I just think so personally, from the emperor's standpoint, I want to make the lives of the people of our country happier."
Yang Wei smiled: "You want to say that this kind of happiness can be achieved through struggle, not through plunder and aggression?" ”
Edwan looked at him firmly and said, "Yes, that's it. ”
"You're a pacifist, Edwang, and that's good," Yang said softly, "Now we need an extra amount of resources to get through the difficult phase, so we will take away Nonal's resources after a reasonable counterattack, this will not be our norm, you can rest assured." ”
Edwang asked directly: "Huh, how can we fight back against the economic strangulation of the Sherman Empire?" Or rather, how do we deal with the current troubles? ”
"There's no way to fight back for the time being, the size of Luofeng is too much worse than that of Sherman."
Yang Wei put his fingers in front of each other, and said slowly:
"To be honest, even if we can come up with some disruptive livelihood technologies, it is unlikely that we will get too good benefits under the all-round sniping of the Sherman Empire.
"At the end of the day, it's all because our military strength is far inferior to Sherman's.
"Edwang, we must be prepared for hard work, even if the quality of life of the people in the wind has decreased, according to our previous arrangements and preparations, the basic life will not be affected."
Edwan whispered, "Then there will be public resentment. ”
Yang said: "We can also transfer these pressures to the United Kingdom of Nonal by passing them on. ”
"It's a little too inhumane."
"Edwang, you are the Emperor of the Falling Wind," Yang Wei's gaze sharpened.
Edwang stared at Yang Wei, then closed his eyes and sighed: "Yes, I am the Emperor of the Falling Wind, and I shouldn't give sympathy to the people of Nonal." ”
"It's normal that we have disagreements and we're all under too much pressure."
Yang Wei smiled:
"I'll be back to Ilando soon, and we'll have a good chat then, and I'll figure out how to make Luofeng find a chance to break out of the encirclement on the way."
"I've been suffering from insomnia for half a month."
Edwan yawned and stretched again:
"It's strange, after chatting with you, although I haven't made any substantial progress, I'm not so worried in my heart.
"I'll go get some sleep and wait for you to come back."
There is a beautiful figure in the mirror on the side, it is Guina in a secretarial suit, the Terminator TXX robot.
Judging from the small details, she and Edwan get along quite well.
……
Now, the Sherman Empire's Foreign Affairs Bureau's strangulation operation against the vassal country Luofeng has been arranged in all directions.
Militarily, the Sherman Empire is looking for the next medium-sized state to clash with the Falling Wind, and based on available intelligence analysis, it is highly likely to be another Sherman Empire's vassal state.
As a vassal country, it can hedge the political influence of the Sherman Empire, and it is also convenient for the Sherman Empire to officially cut into the situation at any time.
Diplomatically, the small countries that are friendly with the Falling Wind Empire seem to have received some kind of warning.
The chain effect has caused the export volume of goods to continue to 'fall'.
Economically, the Sherman Empire's Foreign Affairs Bureau, in conjunction with several teams of the Sherman Empire's Ministry of Finance, directly exerted strong pressure on the merchants of the Sherman Empire.
This is to push the falling wind directly down to the rhythm of the second-level civilization.
Yang Wei doesn't need to be so anxious.
He only needs the existence of the country of Falling Wind to cover the existence of the Dark Star, and the Dark Star will next open the No. 4 base towards the no-man's land of the Milky Way, and the number of expanding mechanical thinking bodies can keep his Dark Star forces developing at a high speed.
The examiner was right, in this case, as long as he was given enough time to develop, he could cultivate the second most powerful ship group in the galaxy in the no-man's land of the galaxy.
But the problem lies in this 'time'.
Faya's game is still twelve or thirteen years away at most, and before that, according to Yang Wei's own plan, he must establish his influence and deterrence on galactic civilization.
The expansion of the falling wind is a necessary cover for the normal activity of the dark star.
If Luofeng can break out of the siege of the Sherman Empire, it will also be the best situation for Yang Wei.
In that way, he will have the dual forces of Falling Wind and Dark Star, one bright and one dark, and it is naturally easy to protect the small civilization of the home planet.
The best forerunner is to allow the humans of the home planet to integrate into the galaxy with dignity.
In the bridge where most of the lights were turned off, Yang Wei leaned in the captain's seat, his legs stacked on the edge of the operation panel, and quietly stared at the starry sky outside the window.
In the Emperor's bedroom in the Ilandor Star Palace, Edwang was lying flat on the big bed, his eyes about to close, still staring at the starry sky projection on the ceiling.
The giant beast that roamed in the darkness seemed to be about to devour Yang Wei's spaceship.
The dark starry sky seemed to be gradually fading, and it was about to blow out the bright city lights on the surface of Elandor one by one.
Sherman.
Mighty Sherman.
Sherman, who did not allow the subject to get out of control.
Sherman, who has existed in the galaxy for tens of thousands of years and still has a long-lasting trend.
The military and technical barriers made ordinary people lose the possibility of resisting the imperial power, and in the entire galaxy, no strong anti-imperialist alliance was formed, and the lives of the people of the Sherman Empire were not inferior to those of other powerful countries.
What can be done to deal with this mighty empire?
Yang Wei recalled the moment when he faced a choice when he was in the Emperor Star.
'Will you regret it?' ’
Yang Wei shook his head with a smile, slowly closed his eyes, and a slightly bold idea appeared in his heart.
Edwan suddenly remembered that when he was 19 years old, he had a bitter argument with his father, who scolded him as an idealist who would drag the country into the abyss, but he argued that such a regime that oppressed the people did not exist.
Yes, he was brainwashed by the idea of democracy.
But what he pursues is real democracy, not a 'democracy' that is wantonly dressed up by capital and various forces and uses policies to fool the people to win votes.
If time were to do it all over again, Edwan would still make the same choice.
'Father, I will not let the falling wind fall into darkness. ’
Edwan closed his sleepy eyes, and his breathing quickly smoothed.
At the foot of the bed, Guina stood and closed her eyes, a faint light under her eyelids.
'The balance within the Sherman Empire must be upset. ’
Yang Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and the thought in his heart had grown wildly, like a flame, about to burst.
Drops –
"Boss, the general analysis has been completed."
