I, from 1000 years ago

Chapter 95

In June 802 of the cosmic calendar, the capital of the Galactic Empire was in early summer, and the outdoors at noon had begun to get a little hot.But Lin Mo, who is currently in the Grand Duke's mansion, feels that even warm air cannot enter this luxurious mansion shrouded in strong cold air.

"Your Highness, the background of the colonial rule of Tisifer has been clarified." Although Chen Jinglan and others still have not entered the secret core mentioned by Eli Winder, the information about the colonial rule discovered by the Third Fleet in the Tissifer galaxy before However, under the covert operation, some people were connected together.

"It's really a crime for the youngest general in the empire to do this kind of thing." Hearing Lin Mo's words, a smile finally appeared on Da'an's gloomy face. It stands to reason that he should be very excited and asked Lin Mo to send him to the hospital immediately. The situation report came up, but he didn't. He stood up, walked under the oil painting of Queen Tissled under Lin Mo's gaze, and looked up.

Lin Mo followed his gaze and looked at the oil painting. The oil painting of the two great emperors owned by the royal family was made by the greatest painter of this century, Floyd Montreal.Anyone who sees the portrait of Queen Tissrid's military uniform drawn by this artist will think that only this woman is worthy of the magnificent Milky Way.She was wearing the old-fashioned black military uniform inlaid with red edges of the Galactic Empire, and the cape with a high collar fluttered in the wind. Even in the oil painting, it seemed that she could still feel her burning eyes.

Looking at Queen Tisled in the oil painting and looking at His Royal Highness standing in front of the oil painting, anyone would have to admit that His Royal Highness is the most orthodox descendant of the Inezsta family.They all have slightly curly brown hair and narrow gray-blue eyes. They are not very beautiful, but they all have an innate temperament that looks down on the world.On the other hand, Princess Catherine inherited the appearance of her mother, Countess Barito, with long golden hair and big blue eyes.

"If the Royal Sanctions Office had not been abolished by Queen Tisled, but had remained until today." The Grand Duke turned to look at Lin Mo: "From the point of view of the major general, will they choose me or Catherine as the next emperor of the empire? ?”

"Naturally, Your Highness." Lin Mo replied, without any hesitation.

"No, you are wrong."

The Grand Duke's words made Lin Mo feel a little surprised, "Does Your Highness think that the Royal Sanctions Department will choose Her Highness the Princess?"

"Why is it so unexpected?" It was rare to see Lin Mo's surprised expression, the Grand Duke finally showed a complete smile on his face, and the narrow and long eyes unique to the Inezsta family also narrowed.He walked to the window of the office, opened the window, and the warm wind came in from the window, carrying a little fragrance of flowers. He took a deep breath, stared at the blooming garden of the Grand Duke's mansion outside the window, "I remember I I once awarded honors to your sister, and I heard some rumors about her. It seems that she is not too different from your age."

Lin Mo was already familiar with the elusive temperament of His Royal Highness, so he was not surprised when he mentioned Lin Jian instead of explaining what he said before, "Yes, Your Highness, Lin Jian is 14 years younger than me."

"Then she is this year. Catherine is 16 years old, and I am 12 years older than Catherine." As if recalling the past, the Grand Duke looked in the direction of the palace outside the window, "When I was 13 years old, I saw her just born, almost strangle her."

Lin Mo was startled.

"Of course, I didn't succeed." The Grand Duke didn't look back, but the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually cooled down, "There are so many people around her, how could I succeed? At that time, I was like an invisible person in the palace. She was five years old She has been learning history and military affairs from court teachers since she was a child. She still looks naive but looks like a serious old woman. At that time, I was hanging out with a group of dudes. She is cute and smart, and is willing to accept everything that is beneficial to her growth. Arrangements. But I was stubborn and unruly, resisting all the arrangements from the palace. You said, why did the Royal Sanctions Office choose me? They think that if you want to be a controller, you must first learn to be a controlled person. And I never reconciled to being controlled."

Lin Mo was silent.

"However, what does it matter? The Royal Sanctions Office has disappeared for more than 100 years, and the only thing that can be sure of everything is that old bastard after all." As if he had vented a lot of the depression accumulated in his heart, the Grand Duke looked back at Lin Mo His long and narrow eyes teased the current situation, "This seems to be completely opposite to the relationship between you brothers and sisters."

Regarding the Grand Duke's teasing, Lin Mo remained silent, as if he wanted to thoroughly carry out the name his father gave him.

The atmosphere was a little dull.

After a while, the Grand Duke shrugged his shoulders exaggeratedly, "Well, Major General, you are as boring as ever. Then let's talk about the information you have."

"The Confidential Operations Department has found out that the colonization of the Ticifer system is indeed related to the princess, but it is not directly related. Earl Debossy accidentally opened up a new route into the Sea of ​​Silence, and then discovered the planet hidden in the Sea of ​​Silence , and discovered a molybdenum satellite around the planet. While mining molybdenum ore, a new type of metal energy was discovered on the planet, but there are intelligent creatures on this planet. Earl de Bossy's private fleet is unable to control this area. Star Territory, so he contacted the Countess of Barito through the nobles who had intersected in the Ministry of Literature and Art."

Hearing the name of the Countess of Barito, the Grand Duke's originally calm eyes suddenly showed strong disgust, and he couldn't help snorting coldly: "So it's her, but she doesn't have a fleet, and she doesn't even have any relatives to rely on. How can we help the Debossy family."

"The Confidential Operations Division suspects..." Lin Mo paused before continuing: "They suspect that the fleet that helped Earl De Bossy control the Star Field in the Sea of ​​Silence came from the Democratic League, and the person who connected it was the Countess Barito. "

"Democratic League?" The Grand Duke looked very surprised, and the previous exaggerated joking expression was swept away. "The one who was captured before was called Messarian. The report from the Secret Operations Department said that he was a professional soldier of the former federal government. Why? Associated with the Democratic League.

"After the Third Fleet occupied the galaxy, they captured some managers of mines at that time. The means of those people in the secret operation department were not acceptable to ordinary people. One of those managers told important information. He happened to be He was called to explain things. Before he entered, there were three people in the meeting room, one was Count Debossy, one was Count Similas, and the other was a young man he didn't know. He heard them clearly from outside Mentioned the help of Countess Barito, and the direction of the Democratic League fleet."

Lin Mo's words made the Grand Duke very angry: "That old bastard Similas still hides his hand. On the surface, he said that he would submit to me, but he refused to reveal his hole cards. He only knew to ask for protection there."

"A person like Earl Similas will naturally not give everything until he has received all the benefits he asked for. According to the manager, Earl Similas may have conclusive evidence in his hands. Countess Barito and democracy Evidence of Confederate ties."

"I understand, I will put pressure on him." The Grand Duke paced in the conference room, "I can't be tough on those old bastards at the moment. If they get tangled up against me, it will be a little troublesome. They There are not a few private fleets. Damn, sooner or later I will let them learn the lessons they deserve. Is there anything else?" Although the Grand Duke at this time can be said to be a hundred times stronger than most superficial noble children in the empire, but sometimes unconsciously The impatience of youth will still be revealed.

"One more thing."

"What is it? Major General, you seldom hesitate like this."

"The fleet bound for the Manchira galaxy is about to enter the war zone. Not long ago, Admiral Hughes sent me a long-distance transmission signal. According to him, the Seventh Fleet's staff thinks that the Mankira galaxy's mutiny is very likely. It was not a simple riot, they speculated that it might be related to someone imprisoned on the Violet Planet, and the real meaning of the other party was to rob the prison. Admiral Hughes once reported this matter to Earl Auch, but Earl Auch did not agree." Regarding this Regarding this matter, Lin Mo is indeed a little hesitant. There is no direct evidence for this guess. Everything can only be judged and concluded based on the actions of the opponent after the Seventh Fleet enters the theater.But once things really change, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and Mankila is extremely far away from the capital planet, so it is difficult to provide timely assistance.

Lin Mo had to think about Lin Zi's safety, even if it wasn't for this reason, it was better to be prepared in advance than not to be prepared.However, the Grand Duke didn't seem surprised at this time, obviously he had already heard the news.

"I have already received this news. I originally planned to transfer the No.12 Fleet to assist, but the commander of the No.12 Fleet, Lu Shan, suddenly fell ill and was unable to lead the team to participate in the battle. He just returned to Capital Star and is receiving treatment in the hospital. treat."

"How could Admiral Lu Shan suddenly get sick?" Lin Mo frowned. Lu Shan, the commander of the No.12 Fleet, is 57 years old this year. Now that the average life expectancy of human beings has been greatly improved, 57 years old is still a middle-aged man. "I remember he was always in good health."

"To the outside world, he said he was sick. In fact, he was assassinated by the deputy commander of the fleet. However, the training of the marine brigade saved his life. Afterwards, the deputy commander of the [-]th fleet took poison and died immediately." Speaking of this, There was a sneer on the corner of the Grand Duke's mouth. "You don't need to worry about Manqila, I will let the garrison of Cinderella go to support them. It's almost time, you go back first."

Watching Lin Mo walk out of the office, the 28-year-old Grand Duke leaned back on the back of the office chair. The smart computer detected the stiffness of his shoulders immediately, and the massage tentacles on the tip of the chair began to work.For a while, in the huge office, only the "click" sound could be heard when the mechanical joints moved.

Only a minute later, the inner door of this office opened.
