Chapter 479: The Breaker
“Boss, the list of people coming from the Sherman Empire has been confirmed.
"The good news is that among the people sent this time, there is one of our own, Bligh.
"The bad news is that Bligh has been ordered to be fully armed and has also obtained photos of the New Federation's diplomatic corps members here. There are more than a dozen of them coming together. It is possible that the Imperial Foreign Affairs Bureau wants to make things worse and attack the New Federation's diplomatic team here.
"Given the intensifying conflicts within the Sherman Empire, they may be in urgent need of diverting the conflicts externally."
Lu's report was accompanied by a hint of smile.
Boss Yang, lying on the bed, covered his face with a book and sighed deeply.
"Why is it that wherever I go, there is trouble? Have I become some kind of ancient god of disaster?"
"Hehe...well, Boss, you should also think positively."
Lu said softly:
“Only when the wind and waves are high enough can we overturn those rotten ships, and only when the contradictions and conflicts intensify can we better achieve our goals.
“The process may be more troublesome, and we may encounter more enemies and more resistance, but the results we can achieve may be better than we expected.
"Hey, boss, you've already issued the Ghost Manifesto in front of the people of the Sherman Empire. What could be more difficult than this?"
"You are right."
Yang Ming pulled himself together, sat up straight, and looked up at the explosion-proof door.
"Lv. What do you think we should do now?"
"Right now, it's best to do nothing," Lu said with a smile, "The Sherman Empire is here to rescue you. They must also want to pull you back to the Sherman Empire and use you as a bargaining chip to threaten Luo Feng. We should now avoid direct confrontation between the Sherman Empire and Luo Feng, and shift the conflict to the two major ideological camps of empire and democracy."
Yang Ming groaned for a few seconds.
He is really not very good at diverting conflicts.
"If the Sherman Empire wants to protect me, then won't I be bound to the Sherman Empire?"
"It's best for you to remain silent, neither admitting nor denying. The later you speak out now, the better it will be for us."
"All right."
Yang Ming picked up the book and lay back down again.
"Then let them fight each other for a while. Protecting Emilia's safety is the top priority. If necessary, let Bligh take action directly . I have thought of the reasons for Bligh."
"artwork?"
"Hmm," Yang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, "Bray has not made much progress in the imperial system now. If necessary, he can lead his brothers to rebel against the empire."
"Okay boss, I'll arrange it right away."
Yang Ming waved his hand, and the hidden earphones clicked and were turned off remotely by Lu.
Galaxy Technology is really strong, and its battery life is also amazing.
Boss Yang thought for a moment and yelled to the door, "Is anyone there? Get me a device that can surf the Internet ! I'm almost dying of suffocation here!"
The two teams of guards outside the door looked at each other, and one of them quickly picked up the intercom to report.
…
A stereo projector was soon delivered to Yang Ming.
The account of this projector has been processed. Yang Ming can only browse it and cannot send any messages to the outside world. Moreover, Yang Ming's browsing information will be synchronized to another terminal.
Yang Ming naturally had no objection to these.
Even if we take a step back and say that he killed six people in the territory of the Guell Alliance, it is only natural for him to cooperate with the subsequent investigation.
When doing business, what matters is mutual respect.
After getting the equipment, Yang Ming began to browse the current external news. From these news, he felt the extremely complicated situation of the space settlement where he was currently located.
The hottest news is the news that has just been released.
[The Sherman Empire sent an envoy to rescue the trapped generals of the Fallen Wind Empire. ——The Sherman Empire's Foreign Affairs Bureau reserves the right to investigate the assassination of the New Federation. The Sherman Empire will selflessly protect all its vassal states. ]
The response speed of the Foreign Affairs Bureau is quite good.
I guess they were forced by the environment within the empire and wanted to find a way to vent the emotions of the people.
Yang Ming could only smile and say nothing.
How could the fire he had started with so much difficulty be spread abroad so easily?
Continuing to browse, Yang Ming has seen many targeted counterattacks, the sources of these counterattacks include but are not limited to his own side.
The second and third most popular entries were gossip about the stars of the Güell League.
This is normal. Not everyone pays attention to politics, and most celebrities have a relatively mature team of internet trolls behind them.
The fourth most popular entry is the reaction of the New Federation.
[The assassination is a complete slander! ——Any connivance of imperialism is a blasphemy against the democratic faith! ]
"This top hat is worn."
Yang Ming clicked on it and took a look. The views in it were also full of new federal democracy.
The biggest feature of this kind of new federal democracy is double standards. For the same act of war, if they do it themselves, it is "saving the disaster", but if it is done by a country with conflicting interests, it is "hegemonic aggression".
Sometimes, the most troublesome thing is not how malicious or despicable the people who shout these slogans are, nor how many people who are unaware of the truth these slogans will deceive, but... after shouting them for a while, they start to believe them themselves, and then take double standards and "one's own country first" as something that is taken for granted and can be publicly preached.
He doesn't care about his face anymore.
Continuing to browse, Yang Ming soon discovered the arguments being pushed by his own navy.
[About the latest current affairs news, you must know a little bit of knowledge: the battle of Ilando. 】
[The history of the Luofeng Alliance's counterattack: a difficult rise between the strongest empire and the shameless superpower. ]
Yang Ming scrolled to the end of the portal website's information ranking list before he found the press conference video that represented the official attitude of the Güell Union.
During the press conference, reporters' questions were very sharp, and the answers from Güell Union officials were a little weak.
"Mr. Spokesperson, we have paid attention to the statements made by the New Federation CIA at the press conference. They denied the authenticity of the assassination and pointed out that the battle video circulating in and outside the Guel Alliance was obviously a video that had been processed by technology. No ordinary person could deal with more than 30 well-trained agents. It was just a movie clip.
“What do you think of their arguments?”
“Well, this… After our initial assessment, the video was not technically processed, and the multiple angles and camera positions proved that the attack in the bar in the Atas settlement definitely took place.
“In addition, the bodies and the agents are under our control, and we are also conducting detailed interrogations and investigations, which will be announced one by one later.
"No matter what, we will thoroughly investigate the planning and organization of this violent attack that endangers the safety of the people in our Guel Alliance, and will never let go of any criminal who tries to disrupt our country's security environment!"
"Mr. Spokesman, were there any civilians injured in this attack?"
"No, I have not received any reports of injuries so far, but many people present were frightened. We have arranged for a psychological counseling team to provide free psychological counseling, and will continue to pay attention to the mental health of these people in the future."
"Mr. Spokesman!"
"This lady."
"Excuse me, what is General Yang Ming's current condition?"
"He is safe and healthy," the spokesperson said with a smile. "He is a strong fighter, but he refused us to do a physical examination for him, and we fully respected his personal rights."
"The Guel Alliance is now restricting the freedom of General Yang Ming, right?"
“This statement is not accurate.
"We now need General Yang Ming to cooperate with our investigation. After the incident, we immediately notified the United Ministry of Foreign Affairs They asked us to provide political asylum to General Yang Ming, so we sent elite soldiers to protect General Yang Ming."
"Will the Alliance hand General Yang Ming over to the New Federation in the future?"
“It’s hard to define this question for now…”
"In other words, the Alliance is likely to hand over the target to be assassinated to the organization that organized the assassination?"
"First of all, we cannot determine now whether these agents are from the New Federation. There are other possibilities, and we need to conduct a detailed investigation.
“Secondly, the New Federation’s diplomatic note to us did include a request to extradite the New Federation’s first-class wanted criminals. Our country and the New Federation also have extradition regulations, as well as long-term cooperation in interstellar anti-terrorism affairs.
“But we must also recognize that the incident involving General Yang Ming has an extremely complex political background.
"We, the Guel Alliance, have no intention of getting involved in the war between Luofeng and the New Federation..."
"Mr. Spokesperson! Does this attitude mean that the Guel Alliance is a political follower of the New Federation?"
"Such remarks are absolutely unrealistic! Our country is a completely independent country and enjoys a very high reputation in the Milky Way. Please stop slandering our sovereignty!"
"Then what do you think of the series of conflicts that have broken out between the Guel Alliance and the Falling Wind Alliance?"
"Oh, what political system are you a reporter from?"
"I'm from the Sherman Empire Star Circle Comprehensive Newspaper."
"Expel this reporter lady out, she is not welcome here."
…
The second half of this press conference video turned into a farce.
Boss Yang also enjoyed watching this.
Continuing to browse, all I saw were various irrelevant news. The Sherman Empire reporter who was expelled from the press conference had no follow-up at this moment. He must have been banned from all channels.
Now, three of the four major gangsters in the Milky Way have gotten involved in this matter, leaving only the United States of Freedom watching the fun from the sidelines.
This is really rude.
Yang Ming rubbed his nose and said, "Law, notify No. 4 and ask him to do something. Ask the United States of Freedom to make a statement about my incident."
"Okay, boss...what exactly do you mean?"
"Support Luo Feng to kill the New Federation, and then criticize the Sherman Empire's vassal system, and bombard the Guel Alliance's political situation has been infiltrated by the New Federation. Doing so is in the interests of the Free United States anyway, and there shouldn't be much pressure on him."
"yes."
Yang Ming immediately revealed a comfortable smile.
It would be a great honor if the four big gangsters died together.
"Boss, First Officer Kolev and Miss Mimily will come to visit you this afternoon."
"Tell them to bring me something delicious. The working meals here are too bland."
…
On the outskirts of the cylinder settlement, in the fleet formation where the New Federation delegation is located.
Congressman Allison looked at the report in his hand, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he felt puzzled in his heart.
“This is not right.”
Allison looked up at a CIA deputy director standing beside him and said in a deep voice, "The development of things is somewhat beyond our expectations."
"Yes, Allison, the situation is not in our favor now."
The deputy director sighed, and the white-haired old man had bloodshot eyes.
"Things are more complicated than we thought. When we sent a note to the Alliance requesting the extradition of the wanted criminal, the Alliance used a delaying tactic, hoping to stabilize us first and then make an offer to Luo Feng.
"The problem is that this gives the Sherman Empire time to react. The Sherman Empire's envoy will arrive in two galaxies.
"Now that things have escalated, we are under great pressure at home, demanding that we win this diplomatic battle, but they are unwilling to give us more bargaining chips... a bunch of idiots."
Allison curled his lips slightly and sighed, "You'll get used to it... Have a drink to relieve the pressure?"
"No, no, we have to keep a clear mind to think now. Allison, you are good at planning these things. Do you have any good ideas?"
"I can't think of any good solution for now."
Allison walked to the bar, mixed himself a glass of nerve-releasing agent that would not make him drunk, handed it to him with an elegant gesture, and said with a smile:
"The hatred between Yang Ming and our New Federation cannot be explained in just a few words.
"He was able to be patient before, hiding in the fleet of the Luofeng Alliance, and had very few opportunities to go to the ground. This time, he unexpectedly came to the Guel Alliance for the first time. There must be some deep meaning behind this.
"Think about it, what is the biggest crisis facing the Luofeng Alliance right now? What do they want to do most?"
"The biggest crisis?"
The deputy director groaned for a few seconds:
"They will soon have to pay silver to the Sherman Empire again... This should be their biggest crisis at the moment. The alliance they have worked so hard to build will have ideological cracks because of paying silver again.
"These small countries all know that the evil Sherman is a devil who eats people without leaving any bones. They must have considered whether this alliance was also built at the behest of the Sherman Empire in order to provide blood for the Sherman Empire...
“Wow, that’s why he suddenly showed up in the Guell Union.
"Luo Feng wants to gain the support of the Guel Alliance and then break free from the shackles of the Sherman Empire."
"uh-huh."
Allison smiled confidently:
"The next step we can take is to exaggerate Luo Feng's intention to break away from the Sherman Empire. If we keep attacking this point, Luo Feng will lose his composure.
"I bet they don't dare to confront Sherman directly, but they are also unwilling to shout "Long Live Sherman"."
"Haha, that's a good idea. Let me think about how to deal with this..."
Suddenly, there was a hurried doorbell sound from the explosion-proof door of the lounge.
The deputy director shouted, "Come in."
The hatch was pushed open by a middle-aged officer. The officer gasped, stared at Allison, and said in a trembling voice : "We are surrounded! Mr. Congressman!"
"What?"
Allison thought there might be something wrong with his ears, and then his heart skipped a beat.
Number Three's Revenge?!
"Who surrounded us?"
"Yes, you may not believe this, but it is... Luo Feng's envoy escort formation."
