Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

Chapter 153 Betrayal

Philips fell asleep after returning to his private plane. The journey was not pleasant, and the result of the discussion was only deeper despair. This made young Philips quite dissatisfied. As one of the oldest nobles on Reach, , he has never felt such a strong sense of frustration.

The plane was gliding smoothly in the sky, and no noise could be heard in the comfortable cabin. He lowered the back of the seat, and the lights in the cabin immediately dimmed. Philip leaned on the seat and closed his eyes, preparing to rest for a while. But at this moment, someone pushed his shoulder.

Philips immediately became angry, who was so bold! ? He opened his eyes suddenly and glared at the person in front of him. After a while, he saw clearly who was pushing him in the dim light.

"Father?" Philip opened his mouth in shock, "You, why are you here? You are not..."

"Aren't you already discouraged, at a loss, and completely finished?" Einhorn stuck out his tongue at Philips, then smiled exaggeratedly and said: "My son, you have been fooled by me again! I am Your dad, Einhorn is not that fragile."

"Okay, you're still normal!" Philip rolled his eyes, rubbed his swollen temples, and then asked: "Then my father, why are you hiding in my plane again? I wanted to take a rest. , why are you looking for me like this?"

"For what? Of course it's because the time has come." Einhorn said matter-of-factly: "We will fly directly to the consul's residence in a while. There, we will ask to see the consul. Of course, our busy consul will not In his mansion, we can contact the consul, Mr. Li, through the teleconference in the consul's residence. At that time, you have to tell everything you heard, saw and knew. Everything must be explained clearly to the governor.”

"Wha, what!?" Philip stood up in shock, looked at his father Einhorn's serious look, and then collapsed and sat down again, "Father, what's wrong with you? Are you really crazy? "I always believed that it was not what you told your family, but you always have to give your son some confidence?"

Philips' father, Einhorn, was different from most members of the Adams family. He had been regarded as an outlier in the Adams family since he was a child. He left the family when Einhorn was young. At that time, the entire Adams family was under the influence of Einhorn. En's behavior was frightening. It was a big deal that the direct heir disappeared. As a result, he returned to the family more than ten years later with his wife and young Philip.

After that, Einhorn even neglected his job. The elders of the Adams family were so angry with Einhorn that they finally gave up on this obscure heir and made Einhorn's son Philip a key training target. In the aristocratic circle, , the title "The Madman of the Addams Family" refers to Philips' father Einhorn.

"Boy, have you ever said that about your father? After studying with the old men at home for so long, have you become as stupid as them? You don't even have confidence in your father!" Looking at himself Einhorn glared at his son, and could only wave his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you. Your father and I are different from those losers at home. For those old men, Reach is theirs." The whole world, their world is under the sky, but I am different. Before you were born, your father and I had traveled to many planets and dozens of worlds in the bank. If you hadn't been born, I would still be here. Take your mother and continue walking. But those old fools don't understand that there is an infinite universe beyond Reach. They don't understand the cruelty of alien creatures, and they can't possibly understand the power of the Star Wars. You also saw the reaction of those who came when the alien orcs invaded. They had no reaction at all. They didn’t even think that this war was anything special!”

"It's because there's only so much we can do."

"No, this is because they have long forgotten the cruelty of war. Those old guys don't go to see it, and they don't want to see the cruelty of the battlefield. The battlefield is too unfamiliar to them! But I went to see it Yes, you can't imagine the brutality of those orcs, it's simply shocking! Once the army fails, we will all be finished, no matter the nobles or civilians, the elderly or children, the entire Reach is shocked by this war, but only we, the classical nobles, remain indifferent. , I’m still thinking about my own interests, which is so stupid that it’s unimaginable.”

"Father, our family's current status was not given by others, but was gradually built through the continuous efforts of our Adams family from generation to generation. Now that all of this will be destroyed, don't you have nothing?" Do you want to do it? This time the three families have discussed a complete strategy, and there is no chance." Then Philips told Einhorn everything about the strategy discussed on the island.

"Puchi!" Listening to the plans of the three families, Einhorn laughed out loud without grace, "Can this be called 'not without a chance'? I think you are looking for death, just like a mouse discussing tying a bell on a cat. But this is just right, let you come to talk to them, just for this. Although those old foxes are short-sighted, their ability to spy on people's hearts is really top-notch. You are not good at hiding your thoughts, and you probably can't fool those old foxes. It's good for now. If we surrender to Captain Li with empty words, let alone being valued, it will be difficult to get even trust. But now it's different. We will tell Captain Li the plans of these idiots clearly, and then we will completely stand on the side of the Archon."

"Why, how can this be? My family won't agree!"

"This is the family's "From the beginning, I convinced the old men in the family that everything in the family has been in a mess during this period of time. It is my intention to let you take charge of the overall situation and then let you lead our family to participate in other nobles." Looking at the astonished Philip, Einhorn sighed and said, "My Philip, what do you think is the most powerful force in the world? James is an old fox. His family has controlled the financial order for generations, so it is not surprising that he believes in the power of money. Old Nathan is just an old guy who digs for food in the soil. At most, he is a bigger miner leader, no different from a farmer who grows crops, and has no knowledge. So they don't understand what the most powerful thing in the world is," Einhorn clenched his fists, shook them in front of Philip, and said "It's violence, Philip. I tell you, the most powerful force in the world is the naked violence that the nobles avoid talking about, but it is indispensable. No matter how much money you have, it can't stop the bullet, and public opinion can't prevent your death. No matter how many mines you have, what does it matter? Just rob them. Can't you see what Captain Li has? He also said that he would send people to infiltrate the Star Wars Corps. It's ridiculous. What if they get in? Will the soldiers of the Star Wars Corps obey anyone other than the Emperor and the captain? It's completely crazy! They are hopeless. We nobles are just a group of foxes. The games between foxes may be useful to foxes, but Captain Li is an absolute tiger. Tigers will not be interested in the little tricks between foxes. The tricks in our circle are useless to him. As he said, embrace life and refuse death. . No choice! "

Philips was scared, but he still felt unwilling in his heart, "But, we just negotiated and turned around to buy them, isn't it bad?"

"Hahaha," Einhorn laughed, then pointed at himself and said, "What are we? Just the leaders of a group of reporters, what are they? Just a group of businessmen. What integrity do you want to talk about with those fucking reporters and despicable businessmen? Philips, don't think too much, while those despicable businessmen are still valuable, sell them quickly!"

The plane flew directly to the dedicated airport of the Governor's Mansion. After getting off the plane, Philips was led by his father to the Lord's Mansion. Obviously, Einhorn had already arranged everything. Philips realized that the only purpose of the Adams family attending the meeting was to sell out their noble allies.

It was about evening when Philips met Captain Li through a teleconference in the conference room of the Lord's Mansion. When Captain Li's head appeared on the screen, Philips and his father Einhorn both bowed their heads cautiously.

"You must have been waiting for a long time, and I'm very busy, so I won't say much. I've read the materials sent to me, and I roughly understand what you mean. It just so happens that there is someone who has the same idea as you, let's talk together." As he said this, another slightly smaller head appeared on the screen.

The person who joined the conversation looked only about 40 years old, with neatly combed silver hair and a golden monocle on his nose.

"James!!!" Philips' mouth was wide open, and his jaw was almost dislocated.

The person who suddenly appeared on the screen was James Rockefeller, the head of the Rockefeller family and the king of the Zhiyuan Star Financial Empire!

How could he appear here? Then Philip thought, yes, Captain Li had made it very clear that James and his father had the same purpose.

And the speed was so fast, it seemed that James, the old man, was like his father, and had long wanted to sell the other party.

At a gathering, two of the three families had the same idea, which was really...

Fuck! Philips shouted angrily in his heart! Damn those reporters and those despicable businessmen!
