Chapter 226: Little Lawyer Eating Watermelons
Yang Ming opened his eyes the next day and subconsciously touched his side.
The zero-gravity chamber was empty, which made him feel somewhat relieved.
Last night...I was flirting with Catherine last night.
If it weren't for his high dodge attribute, he might have been taken down by Captain Catherine without much effort!
Yang Ming was not stupid. Of course he could see that Catherine seemed to want to use him to try out love affairs. This was quite in line with the current social atmosphere in the empire - after meeting a few times and knowing each other for a few days, they already had the opportunity for legal and in-depth communication.
But it is really inconvenient for Yang Ming at this stage.
If the biological information is leaked, or directly leaked to the super modifier, he can only summon the Dongfeng to break out of the siege.
From outside the cabin, Lu called out, "Boss, there's big news!"
Yang Ming pushed open the cabin door and climbed out. Gravity gradually recovered around the rest cabin, allowing Yang Ming to stretch comfortably.
"What's the big news?"
"The bigwigs of the United States Congress were exposed for holding a lewd party!"
Lu raised his hand and brought out two projection screens, which showed a series of mosaic images.
Yang Ming frowned and said, "Remove the mosaic for me."
"Okay!"
Lu snapped his fingers, and the scene suddenly became extremely explosive.
Yang Ming turned his head and retched. "Put mosaics on it. These old guys are so disgusting! How could such news be released? Are these old politicians so weak in public relations?"
"No," Lu opened two more projection screens, "I went to the United States of Freedom to eat melons online, and I ate a lot of big melons. Their first star had a series of car accidents last night, there was a crazy chase, and it was said that there was a fierce gun battle. Several media executives died suddenly. I also found some hot videos of street gun battles!"
Yang Ming immediately became interested and stared at the projection screen for a long time.
After eating the melon, I feel satisfied.
"That's a good move," Yang Ming said in amazement. "Which new political group is challenging the old group? Although the United States of Freedom will not change this time, there will definitely be political turmoil."
"The public relations direction of those old politicians now is to treat this incident as a smear campaign by foreign forces, with the intention of subverting the regime of the third most powerful country in the galaxy, and to link this incident to the terrorist attack on the Sherman Empire. By the way, those videos are all synthesized and can almost be mistaken for the real thing."
Lu pushed up his glasses:
"I think this is a case of some shady deal that failed to go through and one party falling out with the other."
Yang Ming stroked his chin and muttered, "Could it be a pioneer?"
"Uh, boss, you are too sensitive."
"Look," Yang Ming counted his fingers seriously, "these three or five Forerunners are the most capable of causing trouble at this stage. I am in the Empire camp, and there is a bastard hiding in Minter City of the New Federation. The Forerunner of the Guel Alliance was killed, and I don't know if he can survive. As the third most powerful country in the Milky Way, the Free United States should also have one."
"This doesn't mean anything, boss," Lu hummed a few times, "Then should I go and investigate?"
"Isn't your computing power very tight right now?"
"The situation is quite tense in the Imperial Star Circle, but the computing power reserved in Luofeng is quite abundant!"
Lu laughed and said, "If we can find these pioneers in advance, the boss will have a greater advantage! "
"It's not that simple," Yang Ming said with a smile, "The Pioneers will definitely prioritize hiding themselves. Even if they do nothing, as long as they survive until Faya's game begins and pass on relevant information to their home planet as soon as possible, they will have completed their basic mission."
"Well, then why don't you hide yourself, boss?"
"My home planet is quite special. If I don't prepare a few more times, when I stand in front of them and raise my arms and shout, I will most likely be sent to a mental hospital."
Yang Ming did some stretching exercises. Having not fought for a long time, he was somewhat eager to fight.
Catherine is a good opponent.
It’s a pity that I can’t practice with her openly.
"Boss, I'm going to continue eating melons! I'll keep you updated as soon as there's any news!"
"Go ahead," Yang Ming shook his head. "Once 026 is done, ask her to come over and help with the plan. I don't have much experience with media companies."
"Don't worry, boss. We don't have any resources right now, but we have a lot of money."
Yang Ming: …
Is mechanical thinking so inflated now?
Is Dark Star already capable of building dreadnoughts?
It really is!
Yang Ming opened the network terminal and saw the software invitation sent by Catherine.
She actually switched to a chat app that could show that messages had been read, and it also had a paid holographic conference room.
After careful consideration, Yang Ming finally accepted Captain Catherine's invitation.
Although Catherine's strength and status mean that Yang Ming can only watch her from afar and dare not be too ambiguous at this stage, this girl's figure is really hot.
…
All Bly wanted to do now was laugh.
Just a joke, they went to help Catherine with a date last night under the pretext of observing Hui Saka.
Then, at the meeting the next day, everyone made their decision based on the opinion of Hui Saka, a loyal subordinate of him.
"Of course he is not a white ghost," Bligh said slowly, "According to my perception and the data from various testing instruments, he is just an ordinary human with a quick mind. Even if you don't believe me, the instrument data cannot be faked."
"I trust you in official matters."
Catherine nodded solemnly and looked at Grace again:
"Captain Gris, what do you think?"
"I had a good rest last night," Gris wiped his face, "I have applied for a secret search of Yaha Star, and I will bring people to turn this place upside down next."
Catherine picked up the water cup and took two sips, then continued, "Next, my team will set out for the front line, and Captain Gris will be in charge of matters here."
"Hmm?" Grace wondered, "Have you determined where the terrorists are from?"
"The Suli Federation," Catherine said quickly, "is a small country with three administrative stars. It was a vassal state of the Empire more than three hundred years ago, but later stopped paying tribute and switched to the New Federation camp. The Empire launched two wars against the Suli Federation. This terrorist attack is the Suli Federation's revenge."
A team member said: "Isn't it the New Federation behind this?"
"Why don't we just attack the New Federation?"
"These damn federal guys are no match for us head-on, so they just like to play dirty tricks!"
"Quiet," Bligh raised his finger, and the sound of a pin drop could be heard in the Stinger's conference room.
Catherine said, "We just need to follow orders and don't criticize the decision. The reason why our team has to go there this time is because of Bly. The higher-ups need him to admit this evil deed."
"I see," Bligh said with a smile, "I'm pretty good at this sort of thing, so there won't be any mistakes."
Grace sighed: "I hope fewer people die."
"Given the current situation, it's unlikely," Bligh said slowly. "Although the White Ghost has dominated the headlines these past two days, we still can't ignore the surging public opinion ignited by the terrorist attacks. It's said that our empire is a dictatorship, but under this system, the higher-ups care more about the so-called public opinion. This time, a real war will definitely break out."
Everyone fell silent.
Bly narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said gently: "I will be the executioner, and it is enough for you to protect me."
"Let's adjourn and take a rest," Catherine said. "The transfer order may be issued at any time. No one can leave the ship at will."
"yes!"
"I will move my office to the surface right away," Gris casually flipped through the letter of appointment he had just received. "If I can't find the white ghost this time, I will probably be in big trouble."
"Good luck."
Bly gave a gentle blessing and decided to send Gris's action plan to his master immediately.
Qualified internal response.
…
When Yang Ming received the encrypted message from Bray, he just smiled.
There is a kind of futility that comes from working in the wrong direction from the beginning.
Grace ruled out the correct answer at the very beginning, so any efforts he made afterwards would be wrong.
In the office of the hotel's penthouse suite, Yang Ming lay in a chair, eating snacks, listening to music, watching classic videos of famous political commentators in the imperial star circle, and learning the style of these guys to attract traffic.
His plan was simple: to create stars.
These celebrities have many opportunities to come into contact with high-ranking officials. All they need to do is to grasp the business card of a famous detective, use the media to establish influence, and manage the political circle of Yaha Star, so that they can gain a foothold in Yaha Star in the shortest time.
The combination of online public opinion and information media can also defend the image of white ghosts in all aspects and prevent them from being entertained or vilified.
It really kills two birds with one stone .
Next to the desk, 026 was drowsy lying among a pile of documents.
Lu's lifelike projection was sitting cross-legged on the table, hiding behind a bag of snacks, with an array of miniature projection screens in front of him.
"Boss, this melon is getting bigger and bigger! It's so lively over there in the United States of Freedom!"
Yang Ming wondered, "Hasn't the fear-mongering incident involving those old men ended yet?"
"Yes, not only is it not over, this incident has also brought out a group of local representatives. The Free United States is a union based on state capitals. The business and political circles are intertwined, and interest groups are clearly divided. Several interest groups are strangling the largest interest group.
“Now more than 60 members of parliament and more than 30 government officials are involved.
"The capital of the United States of Freedom was in chaos. More than 100 traffic accidents and more than 30 assassinations occurred within a few hours. People on the Internet were furious."
Lu laughed:
"A political event of this magnitude is rare to see in a century."
"Uh," 026 asked quietly, "Is this the news I just saw? A group of politicians and wealthy businessmen bought an island on a poor planet and built a paradise just to have fun?"
“That’s it!”
Lu sighed, "These corrupt humans in power really have no bottom line."
"I've seen this happen many times," Yang Ming shook his head. "Didn't our little 26 escape from this kind of environment?"
"I was saved by my boss," 026 sighed, "The weak wanting to be respected only happens in fairy tales. I am in the fairy tale now."
Yang Ming threw a piece of fried meat and hit 026 right on the forehead.
026 curled his lips and lowered his head to do his own thing.
Yang Ming was thinking, if this incident happened in Empire, as a media celebrity, how should he express his opinions in order to resonate with netizens.
Use a sarcastic tone to mock the poor physical fitness of these old politicians, or use the form of "making an aphrodisiac advertisement" to make fun of them?
Then, Yang Ming realized that such a thing would never happen in the Sherman Empire.
Those ministers and officials could legally own slaves.
This is a terrible imperial system.
"Hey! Boss!"
Lu suddenly looked up: "He ate the melon and ended up eating himself!"
"What?" Yang Ming was confused.
Lu immediately said, "There's a video that's starting to circulate in the United States of Freedom. There should be a technical team spreading it. Do you want to take a look?"
"Open it and take a look," Yang Ming was also aroused.
"026, please step aside for now," Lu said with a grin, "You don't have enough authority yet."
026 left the meeting room dejectedly.
Lu lowered her head and operated for a while, and soon played the pure video file without any additions through a large screen. Then she recorded the image on the large screen and synchronized it in front of Yang Ming.
The content of the video is very monotonous. It is just a guy in a suit and tie, wearing a black hood, sitting quietly on a single sofa with his legs crossed.
He spoke in the official language of the United States with a clear accent. If it weren't for the subtitles in the universal language of the galaxy, Yang Ming wouldn't have known what he was saying.
The general idea is:
'Hello, White Ghost of the Empire.
'I know who you are, and we are of the same kind.
'You have already contacted other people of your kind, right? I saw the entry on the Imperial Network before, but I was at a critical moment in the integration of forces at that time, so I was unable to participate in your interaction. This is a pity.
'We have the same mission, and I may have more information than you. We can completely keep out of each other's way, and it is enough for us to manage our own camps well.
'But this is boring
'I'm an adventurer and my doctors have been telling me that there may be something wrong with my mental health. Unfortunately, I have become a representative of my homeland.
'I believe that the best warriors from other homes who were chosen with me will not be willing to be lonely.
'How about we have a competition? Before the game officially starts, let's decide the winner first, hehe, this is fun.
'You can hide under the protection of the powerful empire. When I complete the upgrade of my power, I will use the best intelligence organizations and assassination organizations to challenge you and other people of your kind who have contacted you.
'Or you can come to the Free United States and stop me.
'Looking forward to meeting you , powerful and mysterious white ghost.'
Kindred, home, before the game officially begins...
Lu clicked his tongue and said, "Boss, you guessed right. It's really the Pioneers who are causing trouble. Should we respond? This should be a declaration of war."
"The best intelligence and assassination organizations?"
Yang Ming's expression suddenly became a little strange.
He has now begun to conquer the legion boss, but this guy is still attacking the intelligence organization and building his power. He thinks he is making rapid progress and will soon be invincible.
"He's just a psychopath."
"Should we ignore him?" Lu was a little eager to try.
"Let's see if the guy in Mingte City has any reaction," Yang Ming said with a smile, "This guy underestimates the civilization of the Milky Way. He is fearless because of a little information advantage. Sooner or later, he will hit a wall. Control the network and don't let this news ferment in the empire."
"Okay boss, is there anything else you need to do?"
"No need. Strategically, we should despise the enemy, but tactically, we should take him seriously. We should collect information about the United States of Freedom and find opportunities to cause trouble for him."
Yang Ming continued to put on his headphones and continued to talk nonsense, saying leisurely:
"He challenged the White Ghost. What does that have to do with me, Hui Saka?"
"Got it! I'll go to the United States and rent a server right now!"
Lu was unexpectedly motivated.
