Chapter 112 Awakening
"Military purchases? How can we afford to buy warships from the Sherman Empire now?"
The exaggerated expression of Adwang was clearly displayed by the three-dimensional projection.
"Ming, are you crazy? At this critical moment, we are implementing the royal family's safety net plan. The finances are already tight, and the treasury has been almost completely emptied by people's livelihood. Father has not allowed me to use more royal assets, and most of the royal assets abroad are real estate, which is difficult to cash in in a short period of time!"
In the captain's lounge of the cruiser, Yang Ming put his feet on the table, leaned back in the chair, and said seriously: "If you don't have money, you can ask the Sherman Empire for a loan."
"That would add completely unnecessary debt to our business, and their interest rates are horrendously high."
"No, Adwan, you must start planning this now. Make the trip within three days, and stay in the Sherman Empire for at least half a month."
Yang Ming's tone was very firm.
Edwang frowned and said, "Is there something wrong? You look very serious... Ming, you need to be honest with me. Our trust is based on talking about everything."
"The New Federation is about to launch a general attack."
"General attack? What does that mean?"
"Literally," Yang Ming said slowly, "with the goal of overthrowing the imperial power of this country, they have mobilized two powerful and advanced fleets. Thousands of agents are just the vanguard. They will have a large number of special forces, as well as special warriors with semi-mechanical and genetic modifications. They are based on the Fifth Administrative Planet, and the primary target of attack should be Yilando Planet."
It got quiet over there on Edwin's side.
Yang Ming said in a deep voice: "Now do you know why I suggest you go to Sherman? You are not going to be a deserter, but to attract the attention of the Sherman Empire and seek timely assistance at the critical moment."
"Can't you ask for help in advance?"
"Unfortunately, we can't," Yang Ming said. "The Sherman Empire's fleet can only be dispatched after the New Federation Fleet appears. They have already been busy with Luo Feng's affairs several times, and each time they have overdrawn their patience. Their generals are already a little tired of a war that is doomed to fail."
Edwang put his hands in his hair, looking like a madman.
"These damn new Federation freedom fighters!"
Edwin gritted his teeth and cursed:
"They invaded my country so recklessly, and I could only hide in my suzerain country! Can a powerful country do whatever it wants?"
"I'm sorry," Yang Ming stared at Edwang, "A powerful country can do whatever it wants. Edwang, I once heard a saying that there is no balance in the galaxy. If you don't want to be bullied, you can only seize every opportunity and make yourself stronger."
Edwin was silent.
He leaned back in his chair, imitating Yang Ming's example, placing his long legs on the table, and resting his hands behind his head, trying to relax himself.
"I understand, Ming."
Adwant whispered:
"Don't worry, I will arrange this matter and we will be able to set off in two days. We need to apply for a loan from the central bank of the sovereign country first, and they will definitely charge a terrible interest rate.
“We need to make a splash this time, right?
"Hundreds of billions of imperial coins for military purchases, the fleet used by the Luofeng royal family, how about this title?"
"Great," Yang Ming smiled, "Can you convince your father?"
"I've figured out my father's temper now," Adwant frowned after looking around to make sure no one was around, "He's a little childish, seriously."
Yang Ming: …
A fairly fair assessment.
The two discussed the specific operational details for a while, and then Edwang hurriedly hung up the video and began to implement the countermeasure plan.
Edwang asked a question and Yang Ming didn't know how to answer it.
'What will it take for the New Federation to stop?'
Yang Ming thought carefully.
The New Federation's subversive action against the Fallen Wind Empire was essentially a capital plunder, and behind it lay the tone of the New Federation's confrontation with the Sherman Empire.
"We need to find a way to make the Sherman Empire and the New Confederacy really fight."
Thoughts flashed through Yang Ming's mind one after another.
The captain's lounge was quiet, with occasional officers and technicians passing by the door, chatting and laughing.
Ding ding!
A form popped up in front of Yang Ming. It was a list of federal agents that Lu had captured through various means. From senior agents to temporary workers, all were counted in it.
For two-thirds of them, the lawyer was unable to confirm the detailed information and only knew that the person roughly existed.
The number of counted...
Four thousand six hundred and sixty-two people.
And this is just the team of agents responsible for intelligence, information, public opinion warfare, and technical warfare.
There are several more lines of annotation below the table.
It has been confirmed that the New Federation special forces were dispatched for this operation, and several cyborg teams were exposed while maneuvering within the New Federation. Their tracks were photographed and uploaded to the Internet.
Yang Ming rubbed his brows and pushed the form apart.
Don't mess around, go at your own pace.
"Law, have you got hold of General Jobel's property?"
Lu's voice came: "We have obtained 75% of it, and there is still some secret property that we have not been able to force out."
"Drop Joebul in front of the palace this afternoon," Yang Ming said, "to give our emperor a great gift. Put a warning letter on Joebul's body."
"Boss, how should I write a letter?"
"Just write... within seven days, Luo Feng will die," Yang Ming snorted, "Let Princess Dana play a role."
"Okay boss."
Law of thinking space.
She looked at Yang Ming's deep face on the screen in front of her, thought for a moment, and silently... pressed the screenshot button.
It is quite rare to find a boss who can withstand pressure.
Then, Lu thought of something again, and at this moment when computing power resources were extremely tight, she still chose to divert some of her attention and look at the girl she cared about.
026.
…
"well."
026 sighed softly as he walked down the street.
She looked a little listless, her pleated skirt and cartoon shirt had lost their brightness, her medium-length hair was tied into a ponytail, and there was a little moisture in the corners of her eyes.
Behind 026 is a hospital, and she is walking out of the hospital at this moment.
Lu stepped forward to check the surveillance footage and knew the whole story in just two or three seconds.
026 actually went to visit Kalmi.
Because Kalomi secretly funded the Liberal Revolutionary Party, which was equivalent to betraying Gudunmaha, Kalomi not only lost Gudunmaha's trust, but was also captured and tortured by Gudunmaha.
It was only because of the old professor that Yang Ming let Kalomi, the "mama-san", save her life.
A few hours ago, Kalmi was sent to this hospital for secret treatment, and she will continue to serve Guton Maha. But because Guton Maha no longer trusts Kalmi, Kalmi was planted with a special addictive drug whose formula only Guton Maha knows, and lost most of her wealth.
——According to Yang Ming’s instructions, the part of wealth that Kalmi lost became the starting capital for the fund to save delinquent teenagers.
Kalomi was a little surprised that 026 could come to visit her. Kalomi, with a bruised face and nose, cried very ugly.
After all, Kalmi needs to take half the responsibility for the predicament 026 is facing now.
However, 026 is now facing two problems.
With the collapse of Kalami, there is no stable channel for future addictive drugs;
Her plan to save her salary was also affected. Kalimi would soon be unable to pay her salary, and according to her family's requirements, the amount of money she had to send home was increasing.
"well."
026 sighed in annoyance, hooked his fingers on the backpack strap, and walked slowly forward.
She was obviously also stimulated by the old professor's suicide.
Lu thought about it carefully, and a little light bulb flashed behind his head.
How about letting 026 come to Molly Miss Group to work as a front desk or concierge? Anyway, Molly Miss is recruiting employees for the headquarters.
Lu felt that he could still make the decision on this small matter.
She quickly dealt with an advertising robot that distributed flyers, set some parameters, took out two stacks of new flyers , and asked the robot to wait on the road for 026 to pass by.
Finally, 026 appeared in the robot's sight.
Lu was actually a little nervous. He controlled the robot and perfunctorily distributed flyers to the passers-by around him.
When 026 approached, this bulky robot leaped up with one step.
"ah!"
026 stepped back .
The robot handed over a flyer and waved it gently in front of her.
"High salary, this is a high salary!"
Lu hid in the thinking space and laughed.
026 blinked, nodded timidly but politely to the robot, then grabbed the strap of his backpack, lowered his head and walked quickly past, leaving the robot scratching its head.
Although Lu really wanted to try a few more times, she still had a lot of things to do at this stage.
Lu knew that 026 could still get ordinary addictive drugs through Kalmi at this stage, so there was no need to worry too much about this child.
"When I'm done with this busy period, I'll make all the arrangements for you."
Lu chuckled and began to imagine the scene of 026 working as a receptionist at the group headquarters.
Lu is now full of energy.
…
Two days after the full war preparation plan began, when the initial enthusiasm had passed, Yang Ming began to think about a way out.
It is obviously unwise to fight the New Federation head-on.
Even if the Luofeng Empire was ten times stronger, it would still not be a match for the New Federation.
He had to use the opponent's force to his advantage, let Sherman and the New Federation face off head-on, and let the two sides really start a friction.
When it was confirmed that the New Federation had activated the special forces, Yang Ming gave up the idea of fighting alone.
He is not the only cyborg in the galaxy.
Being too prominent will easily make you a target of others.
He is just a special one in genetic modification, although the genetic reagents used are from the humanoid ancient god.
"I have to hide in the fleet and let Gutonmaha show goodwill to the New Federation."
Yang Ming muttered softly.
In fact, as long as Edwang survives the other party's subversion, he can firmly grasp the two forces of the imperial military and let the New Federation blow up the palace...
Isn't this a suitable opportunity to 'usurp the throne'?
It would be in the best interest of Edwang to become the emperor of Luofeng, and he would secretly control most of the military power of Luofeng. If he could then get the position of governor of a remote administrative planet, wouldn't that be easy and sure?
Hasn't this always been his purpose?
Dangers and opportunities coexist.
Therefore, the most important thing at this stage is to ensure that Adwant arrives safely in the Sherman Empire and replace another general with an intelligent machine.
"Whether the royal family is overthrown or not has little to do with me."
Yang Ming just felt that his thoughts suddenly became clear.
The pressure was reduced by half instantly.
"Lv, it seems we have fallen into a misunderstanding before," Yang Ming said, "Luo Feng's predicament is not the same as our predicament. I just need to hide in the army. The New Federation is unlikely to directly target the military fleet."
"It is true, Boss."
Lu's projection appeared next to Yang Ming's hand.
"You shouldn't confront them head-on. They want to overthrow the Luofeng regime. You can just watch the show after you control the military."
"I seem to have been a bit put into the role of the Luofeng Empire officer," Yang Ming curled his lips, "This is probably because the person in charge is the most confused... Is there any situation with the old emperor?"
"Boss, maybe you can take a look at this. I used the secret door hidden in the old emperor's brain to copy some of the memory fragments."
Lu's voice was somewhat solemn:
"I always feel that the old emperor is awakening in a strange direction."
Strange place?
Yang Ming was slightly puzzled.
But when he opened the 'first-person' video given by Lu and saw the 'silhouette' of the old emperor's memory, his eyes suddenly lit up.
this!
Is this really something a pure young man like him should watch?
This memory is mainly divided into two parts.
The first part is yesterday morning, when the old emperor tried the rebel general Joebul.
Jobel was found in a taxi by the palace guards at dawn. His eyes were dull and he could only smile foolishly and doze off. Although there were no scars on his body, his mind was completely confused.
The old omnic emperor sat on the throne, many thoughts flashing through his mind, and when he ordered the execution of Jobel, the positron brain data fluctuated violently.
Artificial intelligence typically follows three core protocols.
A robot may not injure a human being;
Robots must obey orders given by humans;
Robots may protect individual survival as long as they do not violate the first or second law.
At this moment, the core protocol of the old intelligent emperor was partially damaged, and the logical circuit of the positron brain was broken and reorganized.
General Jobel was shot outside his bedroom.
The old emperor looked through the crack in the door and watched the general slowly fall to the ground. His breathing became a little rapid, and then he began to laugh.
The laughter lasted for about thirty seconds. The ministers and maids were at a loss and could only lower their heads and wait for the emperor's orders.
This incident had an extremely huge impact on the old emperor.
The second part happened last night, around midnight, in a corner of the emperor's bedroom.
The hall was quiet. The maids received the emperor's order and left the palace.
Generally speaking, at such times, the reason given to the outside world was that the emperor wanted to start meditating and contemplating.
Then, the gorgeous wardrobe beside the emperor's bed slowly opened, and Princess Daina and her trusted maid, the senior engineer, walked out together.
Princess Daena sighed, "How do you feel?"
The old emperor lay quietly on the bed and did not answer.
Princess Daina frowned and stepped forward: "You shouldn't have directly ordered the execution in court. That would have damaged your agreement. Next time there is such a situation, just hand it over to the royal court. Do you understand?"
Her tone was a little stiff.
The maid seemed to want to remind Princess Daina of something, but before she could open her mouth, the old emperor lying on the bed suddenly jumped up.
He has an agility that is totally inconsistent with his appearance.
The golden laser pistol in his hand had already turned on the biosafety.
Princess Daina frowned and stared at the old emperor, who sneered, "Stand there and obey me."
"Are you crazy?" Princess Dana asked coldly.
"I have never been so clear-headed as I am now. I am the emperor, right?"
Before Princess Dana could say something, the old emperor suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Princess Dana's arm, threw her onto the bed, turned around and walked towards the maid, pointing the gun at her forehead.
"Kneel down."
The maid was trembling all over and her legs slowly bent.
The old emperor threw down a pair of shackles and forced the maid to handcuff her to the wardrobe.
Princess Dana pounced on her from behind!
The old emperor seemed to have anticipated this. With just a simple elbow strike, Princess Dana was knocked away. She lay on the edge of the bed, holding her neck and coughing.
"Dana."
The old omnic emperor threw his pistol on the wardrobe, slowly walked to the bed, looked down at Princess Dana's plump and charming figure, and stared at Princess Dana closely. His old hands grabbed her collar and slowly tore open the expensive suit from top to bottom.
"All you need to do now is obey me."
