Although the room may not seem too large, the interior is extraordinarily luxurious and elegant, with antique furniture with a heavy historical feel, and there are many priceless collections and even pre-emeris treasures. Every furnishing and every item here has its own history and story, and when you are here, you will feel like you are in the palace of the past, which is amazing and embarrassing.

Today, however, the atmosphere here was a little strange, the air was so heavy and oppressive that even the guards outside the door seemed to feel a little out of breath, and several officers in the room did not dare to make a sound, lest they would be killed if their breathing was heavier, and they maintained the most respectful and humble posture, quietly waiting for the speech of the top boss sitting in front of the window.

Director of the Imperial Security Bureau - Giraud. Admiral Steve's mood is very, very bad today, and it can even be said that it is very bad, he is very annoyed by the recent series of shameless rebel attacks on the TAU-7 space station, when would this group of small rebel scum dare to plan such a bold combat operation, this is simply deliberately embarrassing him, the director of security, and what is even more intolerable is that they can still gather a fleet and blatantly challenge the regular Starfleet of the Empire and defeat the Imperial fleet, which ......

The Admiral just sat behind the table, motionless, he didn't know what he had done wrong, he had always been smart, he had been very patient, he didn't deny that he had been a little fond of these little rebels before, he liked them to add a little bit of chaos to the Empire everywhere, he didn't mind them robbing and stealing some Imperial ships and their cargo in order to maintain their stupid rebellion, because he thought that these rebels couldn't make any big waves, at best they were just scratching the Empire, And these little troubles are very good for consolidating his position, strengthening his control within the empire, fighting for more and greater power, but it is clear that he is wrong, these rebels have developed beyond the scope of his control, they have become very unlovable, they have grown up, they have become stronger, and the admiral suddenly felt a wave of fear for no reason, he had imagined these rebels too simply.

The above reasons alone were enough for him to make up his mind to eliminate those rebel scum, and now the rebels had one more crime. He looked at the image on the desktop display, one of the few images of the attacker taken by the station's automated monitors, and he recognized the face of one of the attackers, the murderer of his favorite nephew.

He looked at the face, gritted his teeth with hatred, and his heart was filled with uncontrollable anger, although from the day the transport ship carrying the prisoner was robbed, he had estimated that this man was probably not dead, but fell into the hands of the rebels, but he did not care too much, as long as this poor lowly being no longer appeared in front of his eyes, as long as he hid like a dog and survived without being found by him, then he could be considered merciful, and let him barely live a little longer.

But he never thought that this bold and shameless man had wasted a piece of his kindness and mercy, and that it was absolutely, absolutely unforgivable, that not long after he had escaped his grasp, he would reappear in front of him, and turn his gun around, using the meager skills he had learned in the Empire, and unite with those traitors against the Empire.

It's time to wipe out those traitors and the murderer, and we must not let them continue to sit on the throne, and we must make up our minds and mobilize all our forces to completely suppress the arrogance of these traitors.

However, he was still a little hesitant, and the appearance of Federation ships and warplanes in the latter part of the attack made the Admiral a little uneasy, which showed that the Federation guys had found a secret passage through the Imperial defenses, and before they could find and block this passage, it seemed that the Empire would have to bring back some of its forces from the front line in case of contingencies. And the traitors have developed so fast in the past few years, faster than he imagined, obviously, they must have received the strong support of the Federation behind them, to completely eradicate these rebels, and continue to deny the Federation's assistance to them, it is impossible, no matter how far the empire can persecute and severely damage the rebels, as long as the Federation still shelters them, the rebels can retreat to the Federation to recuperate and make a comeback again.

Moreover, the general secretly thought to himself, as the strength of the rebels continues to increase, the empire will face the two-front battle of the Federation and the rebels at the same time in the future, this is not a good strategic situation, since the history of mankind, the end of the two-front battle is usually not very good, we must concentrate the imperial army, first clean up one, and the rebels who are still relatively weak are undoubtedly a priority choice, and the outside must first be at home, this ancient adage that has been handed down since the pre-ephemeris still has to be listened to.

As for the Federation? Anyway, after the defeat of the Battle of Henison, the Imperial Army has completely withdrawn from the original Federation Star Field, and has returned to the confrontation line before the war, and the Admiral remembers the frequent calls for armistice negotiations from the group of people on Earth recently, perhaps, it can meet their demands, but they must pay a certain price.

He pressed a button in front of the desk, and a good-looking female secretary appeared on the display screen.

"You arrange it for me, I have something important to do, and I ask to discuss it with the Führer in person."

"Understood, Admiral, I'll arrange it."

The stupid federation will be their turn again when the situation within the empire is settled, and that thing should be ready by then. Armistice? Isn't that piece of paper there so that it can be torn up in the future? As for the excuse to tear up, there are so many, even if there is really no excuse, it doesn't matter, it's not easy to make an excuse to come out?

A grim smile appeared on the Admiral's face, and the chill in the small room without sunlight was even more piercing.......

At the KJZ-11 space station, General Martin's office.

"Ah, Ralph, let me hear what good news you've brought me." General Martin leaned back comfortably in his chair, he was in a very good mood right now, and the joy and excitement that had been brought to him by the success of Operation Firefox had not yet completely faded.

"Well, General, it's mostly good news, but I'm afraid there's a bit of a problem with one piece of intelligence." Captain Ralph replied cautiously.

"Then let's talk about the good news first, and then listen to the bad news later."

"Yes, General." The captain glanced at the folder he was holding, "First of all, the progress report of our new Starfighter Lightning, our technicians have done a lot of analysis and research on the improved prototype and those test data brought back from this operation, we found that the Empire has carried out the tests of the Lightning-type fighter in great detail and seriousness, and the data is perfect, which has greatly saved us time, and at present we have frozen the technical design and started to make the final corresponding adjustments to our production line, Progress has greatly exceeded the original estimate, and it is expected that the first batch of new lightning fighters will be ready to roll off the production line in less than three months at the earliest. ”

"Great, I can't wait to see these new fighter formations attacking in droves. What else is the good news? ”

"The MK6 type energy pulse torpedo has been tested in this Firefox operation, fully meets our expected requirements, can effectively interfere with the operation of space jump points, and has already begun mass production, the first batch of torpedoes will be prioritized to equip all kinds of ships that we are preparing to carry out attack operations, and the equipment of these torpedoes will be crucial for the successful completion of the attack mission and escape from the pursuit of the Empire......."

"Thanks to the pilot training simulators, training materials, and other training equipment that the Earth Federation has given us, we have built several of our own Starfighter Pilot Training Centers, and with the help of the girls of the Blue Angels, several pilot crash courses are nearing graduation, and the best pilots will then go on to receive Major Young and Ressen. Captain Nigaul's guidance, who will be our second batch of pilots to fly the Lightning Starfighters......"

The general nodded, and the first batch was, of course, Sonia. Major Yang and Rise. Captain Nigaul suddenly laughed, "Does Captain Nigaul still have an opinion about his arrangement?" ”

Captain Ralph couldn't help but laugh, "Of course there is, I have made two transfer applications, and he still hopes to join the combat unit and fight with the Empire, instead of staying in the comfort of the rear as a flight instructor, but it seems that he has not reported it anymore recently, it is said that it is because Major Yang has been talking to him for several hours." ”

"Hmm!" The general nodded, it was his idea to let Risen become a flight instructor, and the Resistance League was too short of pilots like him. In particular, he is still a super ace, more than 70 percent of the fighters shot down in the history of world air combat were shot down by ace pilots, Risen has rich combat experience, he knows how to come back alive from the battlefield, his biggest role is not in the front, but in the rear, let him go to the battlefield Maybe he can shoot down ten more enemy planes, but the war will not end because of an air battle, stay in the rear, he can pass on his experience and technology to newcomers, so that they can become dozens, hundreds of ace pilots like him.

"In addition, the Xinhaikou shipyard is building our army's first fast space carrier," Captain Ralph continued to report, "using the ion engine technology obtained from the Federation, our technicians specially designed and improved the power pack of the new space carrier, so that it can operate in conjunction with our fast battleships and cruisers, at the cost of carrying a maximum of eighty-seven aircraft, which is a reduction compared to the space carriers of the Empire or the Federation, but it is most suitable for our lightning attack and rapid evacuation tactical ......"

"The personnel evacuated from the Yasen base have been properly resettled........"

“........”

"That's all, General." The captain closed the folder.

"So, what about the bad news you're talking about?" General Martin asked.

"This ...... Nor can it be said that it is bad news, at least it has not been confirmed, we have only found some intelligence that may be problematic. The captain put a file on the general's desk.

"What is this? Well? Report on the need to continue the development of a new starfighter? Where did this come from? ”

"This is an attachment file that we got by accident from Operation Firefox and mixed in with the test data of those Lightning Starfighters." Captain Ralph carefully explained, "General, please look at this sentence outlined in red lines. ”

"Although the final solution Omega plan is being implemented, it is an indisputable fact that the technical risk is too large......." The general slowly read it word by word, then raised his head, a little stunned, "The final solution?" Omega Project? What is that? ”

"We don't know." Captain Ralph shook his head solemnly, "It's the first time we've heard of this name, but, judging from the documents, it's clear that it's aimed at the Federation, maybe one of the new weapons that the Empire is seeking after the Battle of the Seven Stars of Great Horn to reverse the decline of the war and even change the outcome of the war, but I think it's not impossible to use it against us, as for what exactly is its content?" What role can it play? How is it progressing so far? We don't know anything about it. ”

"Well, so all we have is a sentence on this document."

"Yes, General, I'm sorry, I can't find any more information about this plan, we can't draw any more conclusions, and we don't even know if there is such a plan as the document says." The captain said apologetically.

"I understand, it's really impossible to tell anything from one sentence, but we need to pay special attention to this in the future, and report to me immediately if we find any relevant information."

"Yes, General."

After Captain Ralph had left, General Martin pondered this sentence for a long time. The final solution? He felt creepy when he thought about it. And Omega, the last letter of the ancient Greek alphabet before the ephemeris, now that the empire has linked them, does it mean anything?

He felt an uneasy omen, a feeling of fear and fear, slowly growing in his heart......
