Chapter 345: The Waves Have Not Been Settled
"well……"
This plan seems easy enough when it is said, but why is it so difficult to execute?
Yang Ming looked at the densely packed portraits in front of him and felt like his head was about to explode.
Mrs. Marg, the deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, is actually just a small figure in these systems.
This is true. Military, politics, diplomacy, and economy are considered the most important sectors of a political system. The Imperial Foreign Affairs Bureau shoulders the heavy responsibility of diplomacy. Although it is not taken seriously in front of the old emperor, it is also the top power department of the empire.
Moreover, in this system, there are many hidden bosses, and Lu has not collected all the information, so he can only use some gray avatars as a substitute.
Once the assassination operation is launched, a comprehensive attack on the system must be achieved in the shortest possible time.
This requires them to attack multiple key targets.
The ultimate goal of this plan is to prevent or delay the Foreign Affairs Bureau's plan against Luo Feng; since the problem cannot be solved, then the human individuals who create the trouble will be dealt with.
Now, they have to solve several problems.
First, we must not let people suspect that Luo Feng did it. ——The solution is to put the blame on the New Federation CIA.
Second, it is necessary to ensure that the functions of the Foreign Affairs Bureau will be paralyzed after the target of the assassination dies. This requires intelligence involving the confidential information of the Foreign Affairs Bureau.
Third, these must be completed before the Foreign Affairs Bureau begins to fully strangle Luo Feng. - They optimistically estimated that it would only take a few months to a year.
Fourth, make sure that the new official in charge of Sherman's Foreign Affairs Bureau is busy with official duties and cannot continue to put pressure on Luo Feng immediately.
To achieve these points... the difficulty is second only to going to the Imperial Star to assassinate a few little princes.
026 and Dabic, who came to the meeting, also fell into deep thought after hearing these conditions.
"The assassination operation is actually quite simple," Lu said slowly. "We are currently filling in the gaps in technology. It will only take about two months to complete the Terminator TXXX production line. If we don't consider the cost, we will be able to produce twelve high-performance assassination robots within the next three months."
Dabichi also said: "Father, please rest assured. The warriors we trained in Dark Star have excellent abilities and such high-end bodies. Whether it is sneaking into the New Federation or sneaking into the Sherman Empire, it will not be a problem."
026 asked quietly, "What if these current senior officials of the Sherman Empire's Foreign Affairs Bureau, and the manipulators behind them, live on the Imperial Star?"
Lu and Dabic were speechless.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Then attack other targets. As long as the Foreign Affairs Bureau is temporarily paralyzed, it will also have a good effect."
"But," Lu asked back, "Boss, why does the New Federation want to target the Empire's Foreign Affairs Bureau?"
"How should I know? Isn't this part of your job? Make one up."
"Edit...Okay," Lu Lue had a headache and crossed his arms, thinking.
Dabichi whispered, "What if it's not just targeting officials from the Foreign Affairs Bureau, but officials from the Imperial Military Department, the Ministry of Government, the great nobles, and the Foreign Affairs Bureau?"
Lu Dao said: "In that case, we need to prepare dozens of high-performance robots. After completing their mission, these robots will hardly have a chance to come back alive. Once they are besieged, they must self-destruct as soon as possible, which is equivalent to a dead soldier... The cost is too high!"
026 raised his hand and said, "I think that things that can be solved with money and resources are not considered a cost for Luo Feng now."
Lu rolled his eyes angrily.
It’s easy to talk when you’re not the one who manages the household, but you don’t know how expensive food, oil, salt and fuel are!
The three of them continued to discuss for a while, and Yang Ming just listened quietly without saying much.
After they had almost finalized the basic action plan, Yang Ming gave a brief summary and extended the topic.
"Our handling of the Foreign Affairs Bureau actually has another meaning."
Yang Ming said slowly:
"I have discussed this with Lu before. Deep inside the Emperor Star is a powerful, god-level mechanical mind. Her name is Li, and she is Lu's half-sister.
“She was trapped by the founding emperor Levi for tens of thousands of years.
"We cannot determine her status right now, nor can we determine whether she is loyal to the Sherman Empire or full of hatred for the Sherman family. If it is the latter, if we unblock her, we can detonate a huge shaped charge bomb in the Sherman Empire.
"If it's the former, the Sherman Empire will be restored to its peak, and it will return to the days of Levi Sherman.
"What do you two think?"
Dabic said, "How can we unblock her?"
026 also asked: "Boss, did Li want to be trapped?"
"This matter is a bit complicated, and I only have a general understanding of it..."
Yang Ming briefly recounted what Levi Sherman had done to Li that year, and both 026 and Dabic were a little moved.
After all, the living example of Yang Ming and Lu was right in front of them.
Lu whispered, "She is most likely resenting the Empire. If we unblock her, it will be a devastating blow to the Empire . But I have to remind you... Since Levi Sherman was able to trap Li back then, he must have retained some countermeasures later."
"and!"
026 Raise your hand:
"You said that the Li is gradually being unblocked, but the empire has existed for tens of thousands of years. In the past tens of thousands of years, there must have been a situation where the top power of the Sherman Empire could not be smoothly transferred. So why hasn't Li escaped from the predicament?"
Dabic also said: "We must collect more intelligence about Li."
Lu smiled and said, "I will soon unravel what Li left for me. There may be some clues in it, but the preparations will take about two weeks. Our influence on Yaha Star is too weak."
"Then wait two weeks."
Yang Ming clapped his hands and greeted:
"Okay, today's meeting ends here for now. Everyone should understand what to do next.
"I will return to the Sherman Empire soon and use my existing connections to get close to the Military Intelligence Bureau, and use it to understand the internal structure of the Foreign Affairs Bureau.
"026, come back to Sakaar with me."
“Okay boss!”
"I obey your will, my great Father."
"But," 026 asked quietly, "what exactly are we going to do next?"
Ritsu and Dabic looked over at the same time.
Yang Ming felt a little suffocated.
…
Military Intelligence Bureau.
The Sherman Empire's intelligence agency has always been criticized, and the Sherman Empire's military is an absolute drag.
Now, there is a rising star in the Imperial Military Intelligence Agency - Colonel Atro.
Artero and Yang Ming have a long history of friendship. He is one of the young men chosen by the emperor, and has a backer who has retired from the military but holds real power. Whenever Artero encounters some problems that he cannot solve, he will sing the song "Where is the Magical Third Uncle".
Yang Ming and Artero have always had a good personal relationship, and this is also the "friend" that Yang Ming focuses on investing in.
Now it's Atro's turn.
Before going to the Omnic Twilight, Yang Ming asked Lu to send several messages to Atro in the name of White Ghost, reminding Atro to pay attention to the activities of the New Federation CIA.
Now is a good opportunity to open up a topic.
Yang Ming took the initiative to send a text message and chatted with Atlo for a few words. Then Atlo took the initiative to propose an encrypted call to discuss important matters.
"Could it be that this guy has discovered something strange between Luo Feng and me?"
Yang Ming was a little worried after all.
After all, Atro has a third uncle behind him.
The communication was connected, and Atero appeared in the projection with dark circles under his eyes, and sighed softly .
"Oh, Hamton, you look really well."
"Hmm," Yang Ming shrugged and chuckled, "Resting in the territory can really make you feel refreshed. What are you busy with?"
"Military Intelligence Agency matters," Artero glanced around subconsciously.
He was in a villa, which was his nearest office. There was a piece of women's underwear hanging on the chair behind him. It should be the armor that was accidentally left behind in the previous battle.
Atlo complained, "I am being targeted, Hanton, just like you are being targeted by the Great Elder."
Yang Ming asked knowingly, "Why?"
"The generals in the military think that I am His Majesty's man and they want to delay my promotion. This makes me feel very uncomfortable. My third uncle also said that the military has its own ecology and asked me to climb up step by step and not rush to seek power."
Atro rubbed his brows in annoyance:
"But Hanton, you should know that His Majesty has high hopes for us. His Majesty wants me to take charge of the Military Intelligence Bureau and complete its reform within ten years.
"That means I must take control of the Military Intelligence Bureau within these few years, otherwise there will be no reform at all!"
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Then why don't you cry to His Majesty."
"Oh, I have really thought of your idea," Atro laughed awkwardly, "but this kind of incompetent performance will definitely make His Majesty dissatisfied with me. I can only think of my own way."
"You just said there was something important," Yang Ming asked, "What happened?"
"It's about you, Hamton."
Atro lowered his voice:
"You know, I am now in charge of domestic intelligence compilation and building an intelligence organization to supervise various domestic departments.
"This is actually considered to be holding real power, but it is the kind of position that requires some hard work to obtain a little authority. It is far different from my idea. I have always wanted to sit in an office by the sea, basking in the sun every day, watching my assistant running around on the beach, spending a little time every day to handle official business, and then the entire Military Intelligence Bureau is under my control... Hey! Hanton! What's with that expression on your face?"
Yang Ming: "Look at the fool's expression."
"Hahahaha! I know I'm wishful thinking, but think about it, we are the ones chosen by His Majesty! Isn't that enough?"
Atro was obviously in a much happier mood:
“Okay, let me get to the point. Those nobles still want to deal with you and your Sakaar.
“I haven’t gotten accurate information about how they are going to do this, but I heard that this time, a few old princes who are no longer active have come forward to impose a small punishment on you from the Sherman family.
“They are trying to make you bow down to the imperial nobility, Hanton, you have to be prepared.
"And most likely, they want Her Highness Daphne - this beautiful princess has become the dream lover of countless young nobles in the empire - to attack you while she is on tour on Saka."
Yang Ming raised his eyebrows slightly.
Tour?
He had heard Lu mention this matter before, but he didn't take it seriously.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Then let them come. I won't be as gentle as last time."
"Well, hahahaha, you stole so much supplies last time, and this incident almost pissed off those old nobles to the point of vomiting blood. The great noble class of the empire is now more united than ever, and it's all thanks to you."
Atro stretched himself:
"Okay, Mr. White Ghost, I have finished reporting my affairs.
"Do you have any other instructions or instructions? I am happy to provide you with some intelligence support, as long as it does not involve anything confidential to me."
Yang Ming's heart moved slightly, and he almost blurted out to ask Atero about the structure of the Foreign Affairs Bureau.
No, asking now will make this guy think too much.
"Nothing," Yang Ming said softly, "I am now my own little lord on Saka Star, and I have no interest in these things."
"You are so leisurely," Atro blinked, "Princess Daphne is known as the most beautiful princess of the empire in the past three thousand years. It is said that she is very interested in you. Could it be that you... um?"
Yang Ming sneered: "I never trust the chastity of the imperial nobles."
"You are too narrow-minded."
"Get lost. Watch out for Catherine appearing behind you with a ship-slashing sword."
Atro shuddered a few times and said guiltily, "You won't tell Captain Catherine about our conversation, right?"
"It depends on your performance."
Yang Ming hung up the phone and grinned to the side.
While chatting with Atero, he had already figured out how to make it natural for him to inquire about the Foreign Affairs Bureau.
First of all, we need to make the Foreign Affairs Bureau famous and arouse topics and discussions.
"law?"
"exist!"
Lu jumped out wearing an evening dress with light makeup on her face.
Yang Ming was about to give an order when he was stunned for a moment, wondering: "Are you going on a date with that mechanical thinking entity?"
"Uh, no, I'm working on a physical reserve image," Lu blinked, "As long as you give the order, I can make hundreds of virtual entities!"
"Just save some resources. What's so good about the physical entity?" Yang Ming said with a smile, "Start working. Bribe off a few well-known scholars in the New Federation and write a few analyses of the Imperial Foreign Affairs Bureau."
"Analysis?" Lu was a little confused.
"That is, introduce how important this department is to the empire, emphasize the blessing and help that the tributary states provide to the empire, and how much harm it has caused to the tributary states."
Yang Ming said slowly:
“These articles can focus on criticizing the problems of the Empire’s dependencies, and then conduct a… ah, yes, a human rights investigation into Sherman’s dependencies.
"It will first ferment on the interstellar network, and then spread on the network within the empire. It would be best if this matter could be made into a hot topic and cause widespread discussion.
"This will make it easier for us to move next."
"I think I understand," Lu hummed a few times, "I'll arrange it right away, but it will take some time, about a week."
"Don't worry. It will take another three months for our assassination team to be formed. Take your time," Yang Ming said with a smile. "Let the Foreign Affairs Bureau become famous first. Maybe we can pull out some big fish."
Lu Wen: "In fact, we have explosive information - the Foreign Affairs Bureau replaced the emperor of the vassal state."
"Not for the time being," Yang Ming said, "This is a trump card that can only be used when we break with the empire at a critical moment. If we use it now, it will not have enough stamina."
"yes!"
"Go ahead and get busy...Also, the evening gown doesn't really suit you. My personal aesthetic is to prefer sweet girls."
Yang Ming raised his eyebrows, Lu curled his lips and made a sound, and the projection disappeared instantly.
Making the Foreign Affairs Bureau famous is just the first step.
Yang Ming began to think hard about how he could get to the bottom of the Foreign Affairs Bureau and how to formulate a follow-up plan...
Buzz, buzz!
Yang Ming's daily Internet access terminal vibrated slightly, and a beautiful portrait with blonde hair and blue eyes popped up on it.
Daphne?
