The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1298、Strange news

"Let me see... The first battleship-class interstellar shipyard on Dawn Planet is completed, located in the H78 section of the industrial star ring... The first self-developed engineering robot of the Black Steel Group has completed the test... Havin Planet's comprehensive report this month... Matter cracking The cannon has completed the test, and the shooting range experiment will be carried out..." Tang Xiao sat in front of the office, looked at the title of the official document that was being swiped in front of him, and curled his lips, "It seems that during the time I have been out, the progress of Dawn Star is still not small ah."

"Under your rule, Governor, everything in the Fourth Civilization is proceeding in an orderly manner." Standing in front of Tang Xiao was the Prime Minister of the Fourth Civilization, Francis Underwood.

Compared with the time when he was first awakened, Francis didn't seem to have changed much. Although more than ten years have passed, and now he is over 60 years old, it's just that he is under the best maintenance. Now, he still looks like he's in his 50s.

At this moment, he was wearing a neat suit and the latest universal tool optimized to look like a watch on his hand, looking at Tang Xiao with a smile on his face.

Tang Xiao nodded, and commented on these documents one by one.

In fact, there are not many things that require him to make a decision himself, and more is just a report. Of course, these projects can be interrupted or changed at any time if he wishes.

While reading these documents, he said to Francis in his mouth: "Rundili Interstellar Power Company, you need to pay attention at all times so that we can connect with them at any time."

"Yes, this is also the focus of my work recently." Francis replied respectfully.

"What happened to the supplies delivered by the Confederation of Independent Systems?" Tang Xiao asked.

"The first batch has arrived, but the road is not peaceful. The transport fleet encountered four hyperspace blockers, and was raided by the Republic fleet, and suffered some losses. However, the escort fleet performed well. The supplies are delivered to the planet Rendili," Francis said.

"Has there been no good news from Severance Tann yet?"

"Not yet. The Galactic Republic has sent an additional fleet, and I think she may be under a lot of pressure...do I need to send a letter to urge it?"

"You don't understand military matters, and I don't understand either, so don't micromanage casually." Tang Xiao said lightly, "She will give us a satisfactory result."

"Yes, my lord governor."

Tang Xiao waved his hand. After Francis bowed and saluted, he left the office backwards.

At this time, the mastermind of the mothership directly sent a message in Tang Xiao's mind, 【My lord, there is a communication coming through an encrypted channel, do you want to answer it? 】

"Whose?" Tang Xiao asked casually.

[Yuri Olov. 】

"Him?" Tang Xiao frowned, "Take it here."

The front holographic projection flickered for a moment, and Yuri Olov's seemingly harmless face appeared, but at the moment he looked a little haggard, but he still forced a smile and said, "My lord governor, how are you doing recently?"

"Not bad. But it would be even better if you could send another 5 million blasters and 100,000 rocket launchers to the planet Lundili." Tang Xiao said lightly.

"This is your job, Lord Governor. Don't forget that the Galactic Republic is currently encircling the Rendili galaxy. Without the strength of a fleet, it is impossible to break through the hyperspace blockers they set up." Yuri- Olof smiled.

"If that's the case, then I'm not in a good mood right now." Tang Xiao said.

"Well..." Yuri laughed dryly, a little embarrassed, but he still said, "I came to you because... well, I want to ask you for a favor..."

"Help? Are you sure the word will come out of your mouth, not a transaction?" Tang Xiao sneered.

"At least in this matter, I can only ask you for help. If I want to say what I can offer, well, I guess I can only let you make a price casually." Yuri-Olov said.

Tang Xiao became a little interested, "Oh? Then tell me, what made our Santa Claus so sad?"

"Well. It's my brother, Vitaly-Olov. I found him..." Yuri-Olov said.

"Vitaly? Hasn't he been missing for several years?" Tang Xiao frowned.

Yuri smiled wryly, "That's right. He left after we started the civil war on Planet Seria. I heard that he joined an anti-war organization and moved around, but I don't know where he is. After so many years, I have not been able to find his whereabouts. I even thought he was dead... But even if he is really dead, at least I will not stop until I find his body. "

"So you found him now? Or did you find his body?" Tang Xiao asked.

"I did find him, he's on Mandalore," Yuri-Olov replied.

"Planet Mandalorian?!" Tang Xiao had a strange expression on his face.

"What? Is there a problem with this planet?" Yuri-Olov was a little strange.

"If you know a little bit about the history of the planet Mandalore, you will understand that this planet is not just as simple as 'problems'." Tang Xiao said.

"You know I can fall asleep in 10 seconds if you ask me to read. Except for the diagram of the turbolaser," Yuri-Olov said.

"Well... what is he doing on Mandalorian?"

"Uh, he...at least some time ago, he was the ruler of the planet Mandalorian, the advisor to the Grand Duchess Shatine Kriz." Yuri-Olov said.

"So he had a pretty good life, and he even hugged the Mandalorian's thigh." Tang Xiao said, "If that's the case, why do you want him? He doesn't like weapons, he doesn't like war. You should know better than me. And those Mandalorians of today, who also don't like weapons, don't like war, and he'll be fine there."

Yuri-Olov's expression darkened, "No...Actually, I heard he died..."

"Dead?" Tang Xiao frowned.

"No! He's not dead! I'm sure! I can feel him! He's my brother!" Yuri-Olov exclaimed, suddenly agitated.

"Tell me what you know." Tang Xiao said.

"Three days ago, yes, three days," said Yuri-Olov, "I suddenly received a communication from Vitaly! It was strange, because he never took the initiative to contact me, and once I connected After his comm said a few words to him, he removed that band."

Tang Xiao nodded and let him continue.

"But in the communication, he seemed very panicked. He told me that someone was going to kill him, and then he said a very strange word. Then there was a messy sound from outside the screen, and then the whole screen started to shake, and then there was a scene. Chaos... I heard Vitaly scream, and then...everything stopped." Yuri-Olov scratched his hair in frustration, even though his hairline was already very dangerous.

"Strange word? What word?" Tang Xiao asked.

"I don't know, I was also a little flustered at the time, and I didn't hear clearly. It seems to be...read...'Hoang', ah! No, I really don't know this thing!!" Yuri-Olov shot Said with his forehead.

"Is there a video?"

"No! I was talking to my brother, how could I record it!" Yuri-Olov became anxious.

"Re'ang...Re'ang..." Tang Xiao repeated this strange word, and then suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Wait a minute, is it ZANN??"

"You say it again?" Yuri-Olov stopped in an instant.

"ZANN, Zane." Tang Xiao repeated.

"That's right! That's it! That's it! ZANN! Zane!!" Yuri-Olov jumped up, "Do you know this word? What does it mean??"

"Zane Financial Group, a group that will not become active until ten or twenty years later..." Tang Xiao glanced at him and said lightly.
