The military headquarters withdrew, but the withdrawal was not complete.

It may be that those military bosses were slapped head-on by Yang Wei, and they couldn't hold their faces, and the order to withdraw the troops was just to let the Imperial fleet leave the three planets where the Domingos gathered, keep it at the farthest attack distance of the dreadnought to the planet, and continue to exert pressure on the Domingos.

Yang Wei also received an order from the Empire at the same time, asking Yang Wei to go to the border area of the Empire as soon as possible and complete the docking with the Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau.

Hard-hearted is hard-hearted, and the appointment still has to be followed.

In order to facilitate the next plan, Yang Wei did not take the escort formation of the fleet, but asked this escort formation to carry out the normal marching order and go to the established star field to meet the ships of the Military Intelligence Bureau and the border guards.

He took the Dongfeng and made a stealth voyage near the escort formation.

Yang Wei had just returned to the Dongfeng with his front foot, and before he had time to have a simple interaction with Xiao Lu, a private communication from an encrypted channel was projected by Li.

"Boss! Admiral Thomas! I saw on his camera that he seemed to be in a good mood. ”

"Pleasure?"

Yang Wei was a little confused, so he raised his hand and clicked to make sure, and the bust of General Thomas suddenly appeared in front of Yang Wei's eyes.

The smile on the corner of Admiral Thomas's mouth became more obvious, and the imperial general, who was brilliant in battle, had a smile in his eyes, and said softly: "Hanton, how are you feeling now?" ”

"Mood? Okay, what's wrong with this? ”

"Oh," said Admiral Thomas, laughing, "you were so dazzling in the meeting just now, hahaha! It's the first time I've seen those guys look like pig liver, and I don't dare to say that it's half wrong. ”

Yang Wei shrugged his shoulders, walked to the Xiaoice box to get a bottle of happy water, and sat on his captain's seat.

Yang Wei wondered, "Do they really want me to do the thing of robbing slaves?" ”

"Yes," Thomas laughed, "a lot of people want to get your hands dirty, so that you can gradually weaken your influence within the Empire, including at the grassroots level of the Imperial military. ”

Boss Yang could only pout.

Thomas's smile retracted, and he said: "You should pay attention to this problem, Hanton, the empire is now afraid and jealous of you, and you have given them a lot of invisible pressure. ”

"So what can I do?"

"Only you can find the answer to this question."

Thomas laughed, and his tone became much more relaxed: "How did you get that list?" ”

"Using mind control to get into their core, negotiate with their leader."

Yang Wei did not share relevant information, and instead said:

"What is the attitude of the Empire towards Dominguez now? Is it just pure bullying and exploitation? ”

"Yes," Thomas did not shy away, "in the history of the Empire, there have been many times like the Dominguez tragedy, but Dominguez should be regarded as the most special one, the Empire is unable to suppress and annex this nation in a hundred years." ”

"Oh?" Yang Wei asked, "How to suppress and annex?" ”

"It's very simple," said Thomas, "some of them are co-opted and some of them are suppressed until they lose their vitality, and then they are divided and managed, and after the parents give birth to their children, the children are raised intensively, and the history and culture of the other party are consumed, and without the national culture, the national hatred naturally cannot exist." ”

Yang Wei frowned slightly: "Empire, do you often do this kind of thing?" ”

"If you look at the history of tens of thousands of years, the number of times is not small, and the frequency is not low."

Thomas sighed:

"The plundering of the population was a necessary condition for maintaining the high material life of the imperial aristocracy.

"Foreign wars and the co-optation of slaves are more radical means, while the system of vassal states is a more moderate and sustained method.

"Hanton, you are now at the heart of the Empire, with an influence that no ordinary nobleman can match, you must accept these facts and learn to be a general with the flavor of the Empire."

Yang Wei couldn't help but laugh.

The taste of empire, what taste? Domineering and arrogant, arbitrary? He also wants to build a big manor with a group of beautiful slave beauties in it?

Boss Yang sighed: "I may never be fully compatible with this group, but I will try to make some adaptive changes." ”

Thomas asked, "Answer me honestly, Hanton, are you dissatisfied with the current state of affairs in the Empire?" ”

"Yes," Yang Wei said, "You don't know what mission I am carrying, but I can roughly describe it, that is, I want to find a way to find a new home for the humans of my hometown after they arrive in the galaxy...... I am concerned about the current environment in the Empire. ”

"I know about it."

Thomas groaned a few times and stared at Yang Wei:

"So, you don't actually mean to be dissatisfied with the empire, your majesty, or the military department?"

"Why should I be upset with these?"

Yang Wei also said seriously:

"I've been watching you all the way, you should know me, I have a unique affection for the Empire."

"Yes Hanton," Thomas sighed, "but the situation is that many people feel that you are a time bomb, and when the time comes, you will detonate the existing framework of the entire empire. ”

Yang Wei: ......

Not to mention, these people's feelings are quite accurate.

"Let time tell," Yang Wei sighed, "General, when I finish the encirclement and suppression of the Domingos terrorist organization, I will find a way to remove me from the position of real power." ”

"The real power of the empire is not the key," Thomas said, "but the trust that the people, the soldiers, the rank and file officers have in you, and the expectations they have in you, they will expect you to make the empire change." ”

Yang Wei asked rhetorically: "Then what can I do?" Modify my principles of life, or degenerate myself to the people? General, I like this little bit of fame, I can do nothing, but this fame is something I must keep. ”

Thomas raised his hand and rubbed his forehead and let out a long sigh.

"Fame is influence."

"If there is no solution to this problem, then is it, is it not me?"

Yang Wei laughed:

"General, I know that you are thinking about me, but you cannot ask an idealist to abandon his ideals, you cannot ask an official who wants to remain honest to do something that is greedy for ink, and you cannot ask a soldier to abandon his own honor.

"Thank you, General.

"However, I will continue on the path I have chosen, and even if there are many obstacles, I will try my best to overcome them one by one.

"To be honest, it doesn't matter to me how the current state of the empire is, I just need to maintain a good relationship with the Sherman family and His Majesty now, and I can achieve my mission."

"Hanton," Thomas said, "I was once an idealist. ”

"Yes General, I can feel it," Yang Wei's eyes lit up slightly, "but I hope that you will become a new idealist in the future." ”

"I do my best."

"Let's talk about this first, I'll take a break and prepare a plan to encircle and suppress terrorists," Yang Wei held up the drink bottle, "I don't want to be an enemy of the military department, but if someone from the military department wants to stumble on me, I won't have any merciless consideration for my subordinates." ”

"I'll convey your intentions to them in moderation."

Shout!

The communication screen is cut off.

Boss Yang squinted and smiled, leaned back in the captain's seat, and gradually fell into deep thought.

Now the military department is also starting to be jealous of itself?

The merit is high and the lord is not opposed.

In the long history of the empire, there must be many secrets that only the royal family and the elite of the Sherman family know about, and among these secrets, there should be lessons again and again.

Do you need to speed up your plans a little?

"Lil?"

Yang Wei asked: "You say, should we speed up that thing?" ”

"Boss, you can't be in a hurry," Ritsu's voice was a little ethereal, "think about the giant mecha of the Emperor Star. ”

"Ah, hold it steady," Yang Wei instantly dispelled the urge to engage in political adventures in his heart, "Put more computing power inside the Emperor Star, the old emperor's attitude towards me is more important now." ”

"Okay boss," Ritsu asked, "do you want me to talk to him for you if I'm fine?" ”

"You look at the arrangement," Yang Wei said with a smile, "You don't need to ask me about this kind of trivial matter, remember to show me the chat history after the chat." ”

"Understood!"

Ritsu laughed a few times, and I don't know what interesting question came to mind.

Yang Wei stretched his waist, got up and walked to the sofa bed in the corner.

He's going to have to get some rest, too.

These intrigues within the empire are more tiring than the queen of the Zerg.

……

Domingos?

Outside the borders of the Empire, in the hidden compartment of a merchant ship, Catherine and more than a dozen rebels from the Empire, as well as the leaders of some rebel groups, held a regular meeting.

Catherine folded her arms and leaned against the shelves, her brow furrowed slightly.

Her tall and slender figure always gives people an inexplicable sense of beauty.

But the people present who have seen the picture of her fighting in armor have no intention of appreciating this feminine charm, and every time they finish speaking, they will subconsciously glance at Catherine.

Thankfully, Catherine seemed to be in a good mood today and didn't ask those sharp and pointed questions.

When it was Catherine's turn to make a concluding speech, Catherine took the initiative to walk back to the conference table and opened a projection sand table, revealing the extremely vast borders of the Sherman Empire.

"I listened to your reports, and you have been doing well recently."

A group of people hurriedly nodded.

Catherine asked slowly, "What do you think of the Domingos?" A simple one-sentence summary. ”

"Well, big sister, they're a bunch of crazy people, and they're usually very shady, and they don't show any mercy to civilians."

"However, they are our important partners, one of the main forces of the resistance in the Empire."

"The regional brigade I am in charge of has always maintained a cooperative relationship with them, they know the actions of the Imperial Border Guards well, they have infiltrated the grassroots of the Imperial Army very well, and they seem to never lack soldiers and technicians."

"Behind us is the long-distance capital of the United States of Freedom, and behind them is the new federal CIA, although there are differences between the two, but everyone is engaged in anti-imperial business, and cooperation is inevitable."

The views expressed by you and me are almost the same.

- The Domingos are their comrades-in-arms.

Catherine nodded slightly, and said slowly: "Everyone is now on the same front of the anti-imperial camp, and they will inevitably deal with each other in the future." ”

A group of people nodded their heads.

"Eldest sister, why are you suddenly asking this?"

"Is there something they have offended you about, big sister? If they're not honest, we can just them! ”

"In the past, we were super soldiers of the Empire, and we were not very familiar with these guys, but now we have almost mastered their routines, and the areas where they are active are also under our control, if there is a conflict with them, I suggest that we carry out a decapitation operation."

"They are not afraid of the regular army of the Empire, they are afraid of us reformers."

"In fact, there have been a few incidents where they intercepted our key supplies, and there are two channels for the genetically stabilizing drugs we want to use, and they have tried to use this to press us."

"Sister, what are you laughing at?"

Catherine said indifferently: "It's just that I suddenly feel that you guys are completely like a different person than they were at the beginning, and there is nothing wrong with this change, and it feels more cordial." ”

There is a middle-aged aunt of the think tank type who laughs:

"Chief, we and them are actually two kinds of people.

"Our ideal is to rejuvenate this empire through our efforts, so that hundreds of billions of people can build a stable, prosperous, democratic and free ideal country.

"They are not, they want to overthrow the Empire, they hate everything in the Empire, even the innocent people."

"That's a problem," Catherine nodded slowly, "At today's regular meeting, I would like to add an agenda item to you, how to get them to follow us on the same path, and how to make the Domingos no longer hate the people of the Empire, but concentrate all their firepower on the nobles of the Empire. ”

Everyone looked at each other.

"Big sister, why are you suddenly interested in these?"

"Moreover, the terrorist organization of the Domingos has always been very militant, and we are going to persuade them? Well, isn't it a bit ridiculous to say that the moderate Imperial Revolutionary Army is trying to persuade radical groups of international terrorists? ”

"How ridiculous?"

Catherine said: "Everything is to bring down imperialism and the aristocratic privileged class!" Now I'm going to think about it here, give you half an hour, and if you can't come up with an idea, come with me to the ring for three rounds. ”

A group of men and women, including the thinker, shuddered a few times at the same time.

Catherine tugged on a chair, gracefully crossed her legs, opened a book constructed by virtual projection, and waited quietly for her subordinates to contribute a brilliant idea.

Previously, Ritsu informed her that she was preparing to take over the Domingos terrorist organization;

Catherine didn't understand why this happened, but her trust in Ritsu and her understanding of Yang Wei made her immediately start working on these tasks.

In fact, the most difficult problem is how to co-opt these radical Domingos and how to make them obey their commands.

The use of force and coercion will only have the opposite effect, and at this stage, we can only find ways to fool ...... Ahem, go and bless them, gain their trust, and gradually become their leader.

He'll be coming to the border soon. ’

A slight smile suddenly appeared on Catherine's lips.

The warrior on the side glanced at her, and Catherine quickly regained her calm expression and continued to maintain the majesty of the eldest sister's head.

Meanwhile.

The corner of the bridge of the Dongfeng.

Yang Wei, who had just fallen asleep, frowned slightly, he seemed to have entered a dream, but this dream was very vague, and his mind was extremely active.

It's not a dream, it's more like some kind of psychic induction.

It's a bit like the hallucinations that occur when you are momentarily dizzy after fighting the Great Queen.

'......'

A familiar call.
