I, from 1000 years ago

Chapter 122

According to the plan made by her father before, Hathaway successfully wiped out the second fleet in the complex star field.However, this battle that lasted nearly two days also made Hathaway feel very tired.After getting a good six hours of sleep, Hathaway came to the bridge of the Ninth Fleet flagship Plantagenet after being notified by her adjutant.

"You did well, Major." The old admiral stood on the bridge with his hands behind his back, looking at his daughter striding over, with a gentle smile on his face.Even though he had been on the battleship for nearly 20 days, the old admiral, who was nearly sixty years old, still seemed to be in good spirits.

"It's not my credit, Your Excellency." Although she was praised by her father, Hathaway didn't show the slightest complacency on her face.On the contrary, the smile on her face looked a little forced.

"Hmm." Lieutenant General Brandino nodded thoughtfully when he saw the faint expression on his daughter's face. As a father, he understood his daughter's thoughts very well.He stepped forward, reached out and patted his daughter's shoulder, and said with a bit of embarrassment when he spoke again, "If possible, I don't want our cannons to be aimed at our compatriots. But Heather Wei, you have to understand that when the two fleets are facing each other, if you don’t order an attack, you will be the one who will be smashed to pieces! Don’t feel guilty, we have the same purpose as them, pursue the same thing, and face the same danger. "

Hearing her father's old and sad voice for a while, Hathaway froze for a while, then turned to look at her father.He was nearly sixty years old, and he no longer had the tall and tall body he once had.With gray hair and a gentle smile on his wrinkled face, Hathaway couldn't help but feel a little guilty, "I'm sorry. I don't want to complain to you. But, you know, watching those battleships being swallowed by black holes In an instant, I seemed to feel their despair and their fear."

"I'm only worried if you don't feel this way, my child." The old admiral's eyes still glowed with approval, "Although I am very happy that you can become a soldier, I never want you to become a soldier." A cruel and cruel executioner. Although I am indeed like this, I don't want you to become like this. I hope that one day, you can be a soldier who defends your home and country instead of fighting for your own selfish desires like me guy."

"No, father, I know you..." Hearing what her father said, Hathaway anxiously wanted to defend herself, but was interrupted by her father again.

"Hehe, needless to say." The old admiral patted his daughter on the shoulder, turned around and walked towards the bridge.At the same time, the correspondent sent back the news that the leading warship in front had discovered the Tenth Fleet.

"Report! The leading warship sent back a message that the Tenth Fleet has appeared. The dome on the right is 3200 light seconds away from us!"

Hearing the correspondent's report, Hathaway frowned. She saw her father walking towards the three-dimensional star field map quickly. He clicked on the star field map and looked at the position of the Tenth Fleet at this time, his expression gradually became serious. .

Hathaway also looked at the three-dimensional star field map, and the position where the Tenth Fleet appeared was not consistent with their starting position.Obviously, they didn't plan to directly intercept the Ninth Fleet, nor did they plan to fight to the death with the Ninth Fleet from the complex star field, but blocked the exit of the Alarion galaxy.If the Ninth Fleet wants to avoid this exit and turn to another exit, it means that they will have to make a big circle, and it is very likely that they will meet the Eighth Fleet that circled from the military port.

As the saying goes, there were wolves before and tigers behind.

"Major Admiral Fingarion is indeed a thoughtful person." Compared with his relaxed attitude towards the Second Fleet, the old admiral was obviously much more cautious when facing the Tenth Fleet.

"If we go to the exit to fight, they will be able to attack us while waiting for work. If we wander in the Ara Leon galaxy, and wait until the Eighth Fleet arrives, they can drive into the Ara Leon galaxy together to intercept us." Hathaway looked at The map of the star field expressed his own opinion. "However, if the No.12 Fleet arrives, we can also flank the Tenth Fleet together with the No.12 Fleet. Is Rear Admiral Fingerion so sure that we can't cause a flank?"

"Fingerion is a very cautious person, and he rarely takes risks. It is obvious that he made this gesture at this time." The old admiral frowned and pondered, "Could it be that something happened to the No.12 fleet? The correspondents should try their best to contact the No.12 Fleet or the capital star. At this time, information is very important."

While Lieutenant General Brandino and Hathaway were considering how to break the current situation, the distant capital galaxy was also in the midst of a huge shock.

The two heirs to the throne, Philipp von Iniesta and Catherine von Iniesta, declared their succession to the throne of their father Joseph VII almost at the same time.This incident also caused an uproar in the entire Galactic Empire.

Grand Duke Philip of Wagrit was born of the Queen, and should have been the most orthodox heir to the Galactic Empire, but he was canonized as Grand Duke when he was under 20 years old.According to the tradition of the Galactic Empire, when a prince is canonized as Grand Duke or Prince, it basically means that he has lost the chance to inherit the throne.But because the emperor has no other sons, except for His Royal Highness, there is only one daughter, Princess Catherine, but His Majesty the Emperor did not establish the status of his empress dowager until his death.In this case, both are nominally eligible to inherit the throne.

Under the deterrence of the First Fleet, Princess Catherine immediately relied on the Security Agency to control the capital star Aschet.However, after the guard team went to the Grand Duke's mansion, they found that His Royal Highness had long since disappeared. Afterwards, Her Royal Highness learned that the Grand Duke left the capital planet Aschet under the cover of the Third Fleet on the same day he announced his succession to the throne. , to go to the fourth star of the galaxy that is being escorted by the third fleet squadron at this time.

This incident made Her Royal Highness's affairs officer Fallainin very angry. When he looked at the chief of the police department, his eyes, which were as beautiful as inorganic matter, shone like cold rays. Under the surveillance of the First Fleet, the Grand Duke's mansion and Lin Mo's office were guarded day and night. How did Lin Mo bring the Grand Duke out of Capital Star!
A few days later, the Grand Duke released the truth about the colonization within the Sea of ​​Silence to the entire galaxy from the fourth planet.Various evidences point directly at the power behind the colonial rule to Princess Catherine's mother, the Countess of Barito.At the same time, the Countess of Barito's suspicion that she was connected to a foreign country was released at the same time.

For a while, the people of the Galactic Empire became more suspicious of Her Highness the Princess.Both of these things are pretty much felony enough to be sent to Violet Prison.Under such circumstances, the people of the Galactic Empire began to lean towards His Royal Highness, who had made military achievements for the empire.

At the same moment when the public opinion began to turn, in front of the main gate of the majestic palace of the Galaxy Empire, Her Royal Highness, dressed as an ordinary citizen, gave a shocking speech in front of nearly a hundred reporters from the Three Kingdoms gathered.

Princess Catherine recounted her 15 years of life in the palace, including childhood fears and injustice because of her mother's status.At the same time, she also narrates the almost depressed life of her mother, Countess Barito.The Countess of Barito was born in an ordinary businessman's family. She had studied at the Nanor Business School in the imperial capital, and she had a fiancé who was already engaged. Seventeen years ago, Emperor Joseph VII visited the most famous business school in the empire, and Countess Barito was the girl who presented flowers to His Majesty the Emperor.The beautiful girl impressed the emperor of the Galactic Empire. Joseph VII ignored the girl's marriage contract and put pressure on his family to snatch the girl into the palace.

The Countess of Barito lived in the palace for more than ten years in such a situation.I lost my youth, my ideals, and my lover.

Under the eyes of hundreds of reporters, Her Royal Highness denounced the power of the nobles.

She announced that after she ascended the throne, a decree would be enacted to strictly limit some special rights of nobles.She wants to rebuild the Galactic Empire into a new empire.Officials, the military, and the political circle will fully absorb civilians, and the trinity ruling concept will be completely abandoned.She wants to build a democratic world under the imperial system.

After delivering the speech, Her Royal Highness immediately announced that the Democratic Alliance government will send a fleet to support itself because it supports its own ideas.I hope that the admirals of the Imperial Space Fleet will make the right choice.

"As soldiers of the empire, are you fighting for the people, or are you fighting for power!"

This was the last sentence of Her Royal Highness's speech, and this sentence was generally published in the headlines of the newspapers of the day by the major newspapers of the three human regimes.

Although he was noncommittal about the intervention of the Democratic Alliance government, after Her Royal Highness Princess made this statement, the direction of public opinion among the people of the empire obviously changed direction.Even hundreds of years ago, their ancestors voluntarily chose to submit to the rule of the Iniesta family, but hundreds of years have passed, and today's dynasty is no longer what it used to be, and the power of the nobles is increasing day by day.Not even the royal Iniesta family can control everything.

Under such circumstances, Her Royal Highness, who is determined to eliminate the power of the aristocracy, has become the object of support from the people.However, the nobles who originally supported Her Royal Highness found out that they had chosen the wrong person to support.However, although the nobles began to defect and support His Highness the Grand Duke, at this time they had already lost their use to Her Highness the Princess who was supported by the alliance government.

After hearing the speech Her Highness the Princess had never mentioned in front of her, Fallainen, Her Highness's affairs officer, felt dissatisfied with the Princess's private decision, but surprisingly, she didn't have too much complaints about it. dissatisfied.After hearing the adjutant's report, he just frowned slightly and said "I understand", and immediately returned to work.

On the other hand, His Royal Highness and his party, who were beginning to be rejected by the people, suddenly became sad in the days of the fourth star.

However, after receiving countless bad news such as the attack of the fourth fleet at the fierce battle site of the front fort by the alliance fleet, Lin Zhe, who has been working in the Ministry of Science and Technology for nearly two months, finally brought shocking news.Of course, it is also good news.
