Him and their stars

"This group of leaders who are full of love and responsibility seem to be doing their best to maintain the peace of our universe. It seems that we are really in a prosperous golden age! You think so, right? Roommate C Classmate." Yu Liandao.

Even a fool would be able to hear Yu Lian's strange aura at this moment. Of course, as a mature social person, roommate C just blinked his eyes in a pretense of ignorance, shrugged and said: "Yes, you, General Yu Lian, are now a big man who lives in eight houses and builds a mansion. He will definitely do it." Try to protect our golden age, right?"

"It's not my turn yet. In the final analysis, I'm just a high-level worker."

At this time, the scene on the TV had already cut to the Alliance's studio. Several scholars who seemed to know a lot about international politics and diplomacy began to argue about this matter.

Most of them are actually unconstructive remarks, but it is still interesting to watch some sanctimonious scholars and celebrities bickering. However, it is not objective to say that their topics are not nutritious at all.

One of the economics professors from Ocean University used a large series of data and tables to draw a conclusion. The whole world is currently inspired by the peace of more than half of the world and the dividends of development and exploration of the New World. As the largest trade exporter in the galaxy, the Alliance has an obligation to prevent the situation in the New World from deteriorating.

His words were echoed by almost all the guests present.

Therefore, the host once told everyone that the wise and powerful Commander-in-Chief Tatos has sent a high-level diplomatic mission to the empire, the community and Huaxu to try his best to solve the problem through diplomatic means. At the same time, two of the alliance's main fleets were transferred to the New World.

In short, this program has taken such a long time to prepare, including on-site interviews and discussions with guests. In the final analysis, it is telling everyone that the Alliance is a very reliable and responsible big country and will definitely do its best to control the current situation. , and everything is under control. Everyone continued to play music and dance.

Roommate C seemed to be comforted. He told Yu Lian that he really didn’t want to make a living in the war, but wanted to be a normal person in a peaceful era and then find a non-paper person, a normal real person wife. For this reason, he was still in the Obsidian City on Mars. I took out a mortgage on a house in a school district and even started saving money.

Yu Lian always felt that he was setting a flag for being defrauded of marriage and money, but after all, this was someone else's life plan, so it was hard to say anything.

At this time, the news program cut to the Star Network's report about the well-known Twi'lek female anchor, but she showed a dignified, reserved and even somewhat heavy expression, and reported in a calm and dignified tone: "This report from this newspaper , the miners' movement in the Empire's Gray Pine Mine has evolved into a large-scale violent incident. This is the fifth workers' uprising in the Empire's Helots sector within a month. Our country is calling on both sides to use peaceful means resolve all disputes by means.”

The attitude of this anchor lady should be very neutral, but she always seems to have a smile on her face.

The scene that followed turned into a series of long aerial shots, which was the Gray Pine Mining Area, a mining planet located in the Heeros Sector. The planet itself is a desert planet that lacks water resources and is not suitable for habitation, but it has a large number of open-pit rich ores that are convenient for collecting and of good quality.

Under aerial photography, the mines that stretch for thousands of miles and look like fertile farmland have turned into a sea of ​​fire. This is why the oxygen supply channel of the semi-automatic mine was ignited.

Of course, if such a burning effect can be achieved, at least three to four hundred people must come, divided into dozens or even hundreds of groups, and start setting fire at the same time. Only then would it be possible for the empire's fire department to focus on one thing and not the other, resulting in such a terrifying effect of starting a prairie fire of anger.

There must be a group with considerable planning and organizational capabilities behind this.

Speaking of which, the current main forces of the uprising within the empire are the Flemors and the Sumi people. Most of their main activities are at the border intersection of the Shengting Star Sector, the Jiyuan Star Sector and the Holy Whistle Star Sector. I didn't expect that the Helots sector, which was mostly populated by exiled mortals and descendants of criminals, would also cause such a big commotion.

While Yu Lian was still thinking about this problem, his roommate C next to him said: "We transported goods to the Shengyuan Star District, and we used the smuggling channel of the Abyss Nebula."

"You? Boston Company?"

Roommate C hurriedly waved his hand and said: "They are just some small ship owners who run orders from the outside. They have nothing to do with the Boston Shipping Group. At most, they only use our ship license when doing serious shipping business."

"If you're not doing serious shipping, then you're just a smuggling captain, right?" Yu Lian said with a smile: "If you're not even doing shipping, you can just make a guest appearance as a pirate, right?"

"This... actually everyone does this. Even the elected emperors in the empire have to raise pirates. I even met a gang boss when I was walking on the Youhua Trail, and I directly said that he was Thoraine He is the grandson of the king's brother-in-law's mother-in-law's cousin's aunt. He is a really good guy, and he dresses, talks and walks in a more classy tone than a serious imperial noble."

Reese shrugged: "Anyway, what we are sending here is just some illegal drugs, which can be carried over by sandwiching them in the partitions of the cabin aisle. You can earn a lot of extra money by taking a trip, which is equivalent to helping the company." If you do dirty work, you can accumulate a lot of credit. If I hadn't made so many trips, I wouldn't have been able to become the second officer of a large interstellar freighter so easily."

"Illegal drugs? Looking at your mysterious appearance, it can't be moon candy, right?"

"No matter what I do, I won't fall to this point. Of course it's coagulants, protein repair solutions, nanocapsules, and cell supplements."

"Oh, military drugs, the added value is indeed quite high." Yu Lian understood immediately.

"There is no other way. You can't send weapons and ammunition, right? Those things can't be bought at high prices if they can't be transported, but large cargo ships can't travel on the quiet and beautiful trails."

"It is true that weapons can solve the problem, but medicines are still more difficult. Especially these special military medicines that have miraculous effects on trauma caused by war."

Reese said: "Indeed, thanks to a certain divinely chosen champion, they can still solve the basic weapon problem."

"As expected of me!" Yu Lian held his head high again.

Reese pretended not to hear and continued: "Actually, since the era of Marshal Li, our country has indeed provided some help to the rebels in the empire. Of course, the specific work must not be done officially, or even by a large company like Boston. They all have to be private shipowners in the gray area. In fact, these smuggling channels were established bit by bit by our country's intelligence agency under the cover of the embassy in the empire. It took several generations. Unfortunately, starting from this year, these works have stopped. A lot."

"This is probably because... the ambassador has been changed, right?" Yu Liandao said.

"Who knows. Of course, Ambassador Hulk is indeed a gentle, humble, and personable gentleman. Maybe this will be the future diplomatic image of the community." He shrugged: "And, such a dangerous mission, can Of course I hope to do less. Anyway, I have already been promoted to a large freighter, so I don’t need to risk my life.”

Even though he said this, Yu Lian could still hear some resentment in the other party's tone, and he should still be full of pride in these prosperous years of running smuggling channels.

To Reese, Ambassador Hulk’s attitude may be denying their achievements and even history, right?

But he doesn't know how many people support his thoughts.

In short, a "scholar diplomat" with a gentle and elegant temperament and a good impression of the empire has become the new ambassador to the empire. Perhaps it represents a change in the community's foreign policy, or it may just be a transitional figure after political exchanges and trade-offs. But this is no longer important. If a big shot at this level just operates casually according to their own preferences, it is very likely to destroy the efforts of the people below for years or even decades.

"However, even though we have stopped, the Alliance has been increasing its efforts. The Alliance is also using smuggling channels such as the Youhua Trail. I have met them three or five times, and each time the goods they brought were It's several times better than ours. Haha, there are only two or three secret channels in the hands of the community, but there are many more in the hands of the alliance." Roommate C said this.

At this time, he seemed to have seen some shocking news, and the expression on his face as he faced the TV screen revealed a horrifying expression.

At this time, the news broadcast by the Nephi Star Network had reached the Kunlongt star sector on the border of the empire, and the background was a piece of ruins that were still smoking. Although it is a ruin, if you look closely, you can see that this was once a quite elegant pavilion.

The subtitles scrolled with information such as "The manor of Earl Leminla was destroyed" and "12 members of the Earl's family died."

Then, the on-site reporter on the screen showed a look of grief and anger, and shouted in a voice like shouting slogans: "The murderer who committed such a tragic massacre has proven to be a thug from the terrorist organization Indissoluble Front. We have determined , they have broken away from the national border and fled in the direction of Feimo Nebula! However, the glorious imperial army will definitely pursue them! Anyone who offends the power of our empire will be punished no matter how far away they are!"

"Count Leminla? Well, I remember that Count Leminla of this generation was the Minister of the Interior of the Empire, right?" Yu Lian pondered.

Reese nodded and said: "I heard that this count is also a lover of earth culture. He ordered a ship of golden nan through our company, saying that he wanted to imitate a classical East Asian palace manor. Although we have not contacted him directly, But I heard from my colleagues that he spent money very generously, settled the final payment easily, and even invited them to be guests at his manor. I felt like he was a very generous gentleman."

He is indeed an imposing gentleman. Yu Lian thought to himself, but when he was the Minister of Internal Affairs, he was also very generous in suppressing the uprising of alien races.

"The leader of the Franmore Liberation Front seems to be your teammate during the God of War Festival, right?" Reese said, "Could he be your apprentice?"

"At least I can swear to the spirit of the universe that after the War God Festival ended, I have never met you, and I have never communicated with him through correspondence or letters." Yu Liandao.

Roommate C gave Yu Lian a meaningful look and said nothing.

"However, I can also bet with the spirit of the universe that relevant people in the alliance will definitely deal with them." Yu Lian said with a smile: "Maybe this is the alliance's method to maintain peace in the universe."

"It's impossible for the empire to know anything about this kind of thing." Roommate C said.

"The Alliance knows it, the Empire knows it, people on the underworld know it, and people in the intelligence community know it even better. However, since the two countries have not broken up and started a full-scale war, they can only pretend that they don't know."

Reese glanced at Yu Lian meaningfully again, and said thoughtfully: "So, this is actually some kind of signal that represents the intention of the empire's high-level officials? Indeed, the empire has not been very peaceful after the God of War Festival. Maybe they really I hope I can have a peaceful time to rest and recuperate. No matter what, peace is always the greatest wealth."

Indeed, after the Ares Festival, there were raiders' invasions, another expedition to the New World, and then there were domestic uprisings that could not be suppressed no matter how hard they were suppressed. The entire empire had been in a state of long-term war readiness for three years. of. Even with the frenzied fighting style of Tirello's military nobles... and their abundant martial virtues, there is always a limit.

Therefore, considering the steady and peaceful attitude shown by the empire's senior officials in diplomatic situations during this period, and combined with the current domestic situation, they may really need to transfer the expeditionary troops on the front line of the New World to the country.

It seems that it is reasonable for such a galactic empire to be intimidated in front of the people on earth and give in a little in the New World.

However, Yu Lian felt that he didn't believe it at all.

Sixty years ago during the Seventh Galactic War, which was the Blue Star Community's War of Independence, the empire was even more tense than it is now, but it never gave up on its most important core interests.

Of course, due to excessive use of power, the Empire had to pinch its nose and admit the independence of the Earth people, but even so, they still retained full control of the Tenosa Star Gap and maintained the power projection of the Fermor Star Territory. . There was also a determined counterattack and more violent retaliation against the alliance's political infiltration.

For example, when the alliance launched a revolution in Angmang Principality, one of the empire's tributaries, the empire's inquisitors captured one person and confiscated the stolen goods as soon as it was launched. In addition to executing all captured intelligence personnel, the Empire responded directly with several rounds of assassinations targeting senior Alliance intelligence officials.

In addition, they also directly used their fleet to bring the flames of war to the Mazawi Republic, an ally of the Alliance, and turned the military industrial base that the Mazawi people introduced from the Alliance into a pile of space junk.

One thing to say, we must admit that although the Seventh Galactic War was considered a full-scale war, both countries were restrained, at least they did not directly attack each other's homeland.

So, today, what reason does the empire have to choose to swallow its anger and pretend to be a grandson?
