Chapter 422: Finding Someone Easily
What is style?
Boss Yang, wearing a neat suit and sitting with his legs crossed on a soft sofa made of some unknown animal leather, was enjoying the dancing performance of more than a dozen beautiful young ladies.
It has a bit of the flavor of the hedonistic aristocrats in the evil empire.
Behind Yang Ming, eight combat maids stood quietly, still dressed in maid outfits of different styles and designs.
Amid the melodious music, Yang Ming picked up the wine glass and took a sip, thinking about the briefing that Lu had sent him half an hour ago.
The Luofeng Alliance once again absorbed four small countries, and did not arrange mechanical thinking bodies to replace the politicians of these four small countries.
As they had planned before, the Luofeng Alliance will adopt a structure of core countries - council members and ordinary member countries, and establish a clearly defined hierarchy in terms of political status, economic alliances, etc.
Such a structure will not only help increase the centripetal force of the Luofeng Alliance, but also promote healthy competition among its members, and reduce the risk of Dark Star being exposed.
In the future, Dark Star only needs to control the core countries and some of the council countries to be able to stabilize the Luofeng Alliance.
Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Lu, Emilia, 026, and Mimili all stayed in Luofeng to do something big.
The military integration of the Luofeng Alliance.
The Fallen Wind Empire is still a vassal state of the Sherman Empire, but at the same time, it is also the prime minister of the Fallen Wind Alliance.
As Luofeng's political status in the region continued to rise, the people of Luofeng had become increasingly dissatisfied with the six words "Sherman's dependency", and the calls for Luofeng to become independent from the Sherman Empire's dependency system were growing louder and louder.
But who knew that it would not be easy to break free from the chains imposed by the Sherman Empire.
Emilia is also under tremendous pressure now.
But fortunately, Yang Ming and Lu had already paved the way.
Whether Luofeng can successfully become independent is closely related to the national conditions of the Sherman Empire. Only when the Sherman Empire has no time to take care of other things and the Luofeng Alliance grows to a large enough size can it truly take this step.
Although the road is long, the dawn is already very bright.
This insect tide is a disaster for humanity but also an opportunity for some political systems.
These matters are taken care of by Lu, so Boss Yang does not have to worry too much; the real issues that he needs to worry about are Li, Levi Sherman, and the Fifth Pioneer who will be seen soon.
It's quite strange.
The pioneer chosen by the Faya people themselves has now become an obstacle to the launch of the game.
No one knew what had happened to this pioneer. He seemed to be decadent, useless, and depressed... Boss Yang couldn't understand it anyway.
The Fayya people even gave a radical suggestion like "If it doesn't work, kill him twice."
The Faya people said that the pioneers were selected randomly. Could it be true randomness without an algorithm?
All right.
Yang Ming also had to admit that he was essentially just an ordinary five-good youth on Earth, without much specialness.
In the corner of the cabin, two major generals from the military, a director of the Interstellar Relations Department of the Imperial Foreign Affairs Bureau, and two elders from the Elders' Council ended their leisurely afternoon tea.
The director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, who had orange skin, a plump figure and was actually over sixty years old, walked up to Yang Ming with a smile on her face, wearing high heels and taking small steps, and bowed to Yang Ming, touching his chest.
"Grand Duke."
Yang Ming withdrew his gaze from the dancers and turned to look at the powerful director: "Well, what's wrong, Zhu Luosha?"
If he calls others "director" or "chief" now, it will seem unfriendly.
"Grand Duke," Zhu Luosha said gently, "In another three galactic hours of sailing, we will be able to reach the first star of the Yada Democratic Republic. Do you think we need to make some preparations? For example, prepare some speeches for you, or show you the information of the Prime Minister and the powerful ministers of the Yada Democratic Republic?"
Yang Ming smiled and said, "No, you are responsible for these. I will greet them with a smile, that's it."
"Excuse me," Zhu Luosha asked, "What is the main purpose of our trip to the Yada Democratic Country this time, or what is the goal we want to achieve?"
"The main purpose...hasn't we discussed this before? It's to increase private investment on both sides and to increase economic and cultural exchanges."
Yang Ming smiled and said:
"I learned earlier that although the Yada Democratic Republic is a semi-New Federation camp, it has not made any remarks against us, and from an interstellar perspective, it has always adhered to a completely independent diplomatic line.
“A powerful country of this size cannot be secretly controlled by the New Federation.
“We don’t have to win them over. It is enough to strengthen bilateral trade and increase people’s understanding of each other.
"This is bound to be good for the empire as well."
Director Zhu Luosha groaned for a few seconds and said, "I'm sorry, sir. I just want to know what you are doing here."
"I?"
"Well," Zhu Luosha said hurriedly, "I have no intention of exploring the secrets of the empire. I just think that our sudden visit to the Yada Democratic Republic, with which we have little interaction, is actually somewhat inconsistent with the policy we have adhered to before. I heard from them that it seemed that you first proposed to come here, and then the military, the Foreign Affairs Bureau, and the Council of Elders cooperated throughout the process."
Yang Ming pondered for a moment.
"I said we are here to meet online friends. Can you accept that?"
"Of course, that's certainly acceptable... Is that true?"
The old lady asked very seriously.
Yang Ming nodded seriously: "This is the reason I can tell you. Don't ask any more questions. You have been in the empire for so many years. You should know that some things cannot be said directly. Everyone understands."
"yes!"
Director Zhu Luosha responded in a firm voice, and left with even stronger doubts.
Yang Ming narrowed his eyes and smiled, focusing his attention on the singing and dancing in front of him.
Imperial delegations on foreign visits usually had to bring along some art teams, and it is not known which generation of emperor set this rule.
Buzz, buzz!
Yang Ming's watch vibrated slightly and two text messages popped up on it.
[Boss, the news that the White Ghost is about to arrive at their first star has been spread throughout the territory of the Yada Democratic State.]
[The target person does not show any abnormality and still maintains his own pace of life. ]
Yang Ming thought about it and sent back three words to Lu.
【Keep your eyes on it.】
[Don't worry, this matter is my top priority. ]
Boss Yang smiled with relief.
He thought of the psychological trauma caused by the little wife calling him "baby" all the time during their previous long-distance communication.
If we talk about the strongest helper in the galaxy, it has to be Lu.
…
Numbness.
Senator Allison, the second pioneer, sat in his office, feeling a long-lost numbness in his heart.
He saw the video that had just come out and learned about the trajectory of the White Ghost.
What was the purpose of this Pioneer No. 1 going to the fifth largest political entity in the Milky Way with such fanfare?
Allison could guess with his toes that the most likely person was going to look for Pioneer No. 5 who had never been discovered and had not shown up.
But Allison knew nothing else.
Even though the CIA conducted a thorough investigation, the imperial officials who had close contact with the CIA had no idea why White Ghost wanted to go to the Yada Democratic Republic.
What can I do?
Allison frowned in thought.
During this insect plague, he was once again valued by the old men because of his "accurate predictions", which finally allowed him to gain some real power and cultivate his own faction.
——This big insect tide also gave Allison some opportunities.
But now, he intuitively felt that he had been left far behind by No. 1.
This gave Allison a sense of powerlessness.
How does he chase?
How did a pioneer get so many titles and halos?
Allison now even suspects that his home planet and the home planet of Pioneer No. 1 are not playing the same version of "Abyss"!
Two messages popped up in the corner of the projection screen.
[Boss, should we do something? If White Ghost finds Forerunner No. 5 and controls Forerunner No. 5, then I'm afraid it will really be a four-to-two war.]
[Boss, we have controlled several gangs and smuggling organizations in Yada, so we can create some unrest. Previously, our infiltration direction was mainly towards the Guel Alliance, but now we are in a passive position.]
Allison thought about it carefully.
We cannot provoke the Empire at this stage. The New Federation has accumulated a lot of external and internal troubles. The game may be launched in the next few months or years.
Now we must ensure everything is stable.
Allison pressed the button on the table and said in a deep voice:
"Focus on conquering the Guell Alliance and finding number three. This is the only thing we can do now."
【clear.】
…
In contrast to Allison's current "hugely stressful" situation, Yang Ming is in a very good mood now.
The Yada Democratic Republic expressed great respect for Yang Ming.
This is not only because Yang Ming is strong enough, has high prestige, and has a good influence in the interstellar space;
Moreover, Yang Ming now holds the title of "Grand Duke of the Empire" and has the strongest political system in the galaxy behind him. He possesses an invincible fleet that can launch a war of annihilation against the Yada Democratic State at any time.
The Imperial escort fleet anchored at a safe point far from Yada Prime;
The Yada warship fleet, consisting of more than 300 frigates, took over the escort work of the Sherman Empire mission.
When approaching the Yada First Star Outer Space Port, several generals and diplomats from the Yada Democratic Republic came first on a ferry to ask for an audience with the Grand Duke of the Empire.
Yang Ming met with them personally and answered the questions of hundreds of millions of people in the Yada Democratic Republic.
Why did he suddenly come here after the insect tide?
"I have my own personal reasons," Yang Ming said slowly, "I came to see a friend, a very important friend to me. He currently lives on your first star."
The general of the Yada Democratic Republic immediately said:
"Can you tell us who this person is that you want to meet? We will make arrangements for you in advance and get him, ahem, send him to you."
"We also need to remind him not to lose his manners in front of you."
"Also, we need to ask you, what kind of reception environment do you need us to prepare? We must introduce to you in advance that we are a democratic republic. We have a human rights protection environment that ranks among the top three in the Milky Way. We don't know much about the noble customs in the powerful Sherman Empire... In short, trampling on the dignity of individual human beings and exploiting the personal values of individual human beings are not allowed... Well, at least it is not allowed on the surface. You have many fans here..."
Yang Ming almost laughed out loud:
“Well, everyone, please don’t be nervous, and don’t worry about us doing anything excessive here.
“First of all, we are not here to provoke you. Secondly, I am here for personal reasons. You can think of me as visiting relatives and friends.
“We have brought some economic cooperation projects, and I think both the Council of Elders and the Foreign Affairs Bureau need this achievement.
"The insect infestation has just passed and there is a lot of work to be done. Only by strengthening trade, enhancing connectivity, and improving mutual understanding can we make up for the lost national strength and resources as soon as possible."
"You are right."
"Being able to talk to you really gives us a feeling of... a kind of enlightenment."
"Sir, please allow us to pay you the highest tribute. Our Prime Minister would like to award you a medal as a commemoration to recognize your great contribution in repelling the sixth-order queen of the Zerg."
"Thank you," Yang Ming nodded with a smile, "But I think I will try not to attend the welcome ceremony and dinner. You can send some guards later, or supervisors to put it bluntly. I am in a hurry to find my friend."
"Understood. Understood."
"Can you show up a little later?"
"Our people are already excited and want to see your face."
"Of course," Yang Ming nodded with a smile, then took out a metal nameplate from his pocket.
The above contains the basic information of Pioneer No. 5.
"I want to see him as soon as possible, preferably after I get off the ship."
"Papalocka...bank clerk...OK, we'll arrange it right away!"
Yang Ming expressed his gratitude again, and the officials of the Yada Democratic Country returned the greetings one after another, making the scene quite lively.
Yang Ming also went through the subsequent welcome process with a smile on his face.
Yada's Minister of Defense and a deputy prime minister, led a large number of government officials and wealthy businessmen to hold a grand welcome ceremony in front of the surface square, which was considered to give enough face to the new empire's grand duke.
The generals, elders, and director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau who came with Yang Ming were accompanied and received by officials in corresponding positions.
The two sides will carry out a series of experimental cooperation in the fields of economic cooperation, development of tourism routes, and folk cultural exchanges.
Facts have proved that the White Ghost fan club is indeed strong enough.
Even the first star of the Yada Democratic Republic was able to gather hundreds of thousands of "fanatical" ghost fans in a short period of time, holding up light signs, cheering and shouting, causing great trouble to the police of the first star of Yada.
These have nothing to do with Yang Ming.
He came here in an open and aboveboard manner as the Grand Duke of the Empire, so he naturally had his considerations.
And now, the officials of the Yada Democratic Republic have brought the bank clerk to the reception room of the building where the Prime Minister's office is located.
