Chapter 483 That Man is Watching You
A not-so-intense conflict was quietly unfolding in this little-known Alliance space settlement.
The continuous breaking news attracted more and more attention and made this place an arena for diplomatic competition among several major countries.
First, the New Federation assassinated and attacked the meritorious generals of the Fallen Wind Alliance, but the special agent team was killed in return;
Then, the Luofeng and New Federation diplomatic missions collided with each other, and three New Federation diplomats are still "receiving treatment" on the Luofeng ship;
When people thought that this was the end of the drama, news came that the Sherman Empire delegation broke into the building where Yang Ming was, and was then forcefully expelled from the settlement by the officials of the Guell Alliance. This was a bit explosive news.
For a moment, the alliance network was collectively boiling.
The tough approach of the Guell Confederation authorities in the face of Sherman's empire led to a small increase in their approval ratings by 3%;
Of course, the opposition still publicly expressed its opposition, criticizing the authorities' diplomatic means as "reckless behavior without any artistic value". They must beware of retaliation from the Sherman Empire. Especially at this critical juncture, the Sherman Empire itself is in a state of internal distress, and it is very easy to send conflicts to foreign wars.
And now, the diplomatic corps of Luofeng, the New Federation and the Sherman Empire are all crowded in a relatively narrow airspace, waiting for the Guel Alliance to make a statement.
The Guell Alliance has released the latest "explosion point information".
Here is a photo;
Screenshot from the Alliance commando's body-worn camera.
In that spacious "cell", Yang Ming lay on the bed in agony, squeezing his head hard, his face grim and veins bulging;
The Empire's super-modifier, the infamous 'sexless angel' Bligh stood aside, pointing one hand at Yang Ming, and turned his head to look at the camera with a very cold expression.
The official media of Alliance Güell released this news:
[The evil Sherman Empire tried to use asexual angels to control the meritorious generals of the Luofeng Alliance. This was the main reason why the Sherman Empire came. They did not come to rescue Luofeng, but wanted to use psychic super-changers to firmly control everything in the Luofeng Alliance.
[Fortunately, General Yang Ming of the Luofeng Alliance, because of his important position, had an auxiliary chip implanted in his brain to prevent mind control.
[This also shows that the Falling Wind Alliance is not willing to be exploited and harmed by the Sherman Empire. ]
As soon as this news came out, it was immediately pushed to the top of the alliance's domestic network, interstellar network, and Luofeng Alliance network by a group of internet trolls that came from nowhere.
On the Luofeng side, the people were outraged and condemned the empire's unjust actions. An anti-Sherman march broke out on the planet Yilando.
The Sherman Empire was quiet, with no news reports.
All kinds of political celebrities active on the Guel Alliance network seemed to have been recharged. They criticized the two evil and hypocritical regimes of the Sherman Empire and the New Federation, and asked their governments to lend a helping hand to the Falling Wind Alliance.
Within the New Federation, those water armies can only carry out publicity on the Minter City network, but all kinds of remarks and posts are quickly deleted.
There is no way, that is Minter City, which is known as the freest city in the Milky Way.
At this moment, Boss Yang’s situation…is not that bad.
…
Outside the cylinder settlement, near the airspace where the three countries' envoys are confronting each other, there is a rapid reaction force composed of more than 600 alliance warships of various types.
Yang Ming, who had changed into a light blue casual outfit, was now sitting behind a round table filled with delicious food, eating with relish.
Across the round table, the Alliance Chief of Staff Duoduo Moduo and another older female official were frowning at Yang Ming.
"Are you sure it's okay?"
Duoduomoduo asked:
"General Yang Ming, your physical condition is now a matter of great importance to all countries. Please do not take it lightly.
The female official also said: "We have all kinds of advanced inspection equipment in the galaxy. Please don't worry, we will not release your physical data to the public."
"I'm really fine."
Yang Ming swallowed the shrimp-like food in his mouth and winked at the two of them:
"And the combat assistance chip in my brain is a military secret of our Luofeng Alliance, so... I'm sorry, I really can't share this with you."
"So that's how it is," Duoduo Moduo didn't insist any more, instead he looked at Yang Ming with a smile, "Our preliminary scan report shows that your body doesn't have any signs of modification, including biochemical modification and mechanical modification. That means that the reason you were able to defeat so many agents by yourself was mainly due to this chip?"
"Yes, you can think so."
Yang Ming nodded:
"If your country wants this technology, you can exchange technology with us. You bring out one technology, I bring out one technology, and when we share, we will all have two technologies.
"By the way, speaking of which, I happen to have a list here."
Yang Ming waved the watch which had returned to his wrist.
The alliance's technical team took the watch over for various tests, and they almost disassembled it into parts, but still didn't find any problems.
But when it is worn on Yang Ming's hand, it always has various effects.
Yang Ming turned on the stereoscopic projection and pushed a folder in front of Duoduo Moduo and the female official.
Duoduo Moduo and the female official looked at each other, each took out the network access terminal, "captured" the file back, and opened the list in it.
What comes into view is a list of more than 120 military technologies.
The female official did not understand this. Although Duoduo Moduo appeared calm on the surface, she was shocked deep down.
There are more than 20 technologies here, all of which are urgently needed by their Guell Alliance and have not been mastered after years of research.
Yang Ming listened to the instructions of Lu in the hidden earphone, looked up at them, and said with a smile: "Those green items have specific technical samples. You can verify them by taking them. Why don't we continue the discussion after verification."
"Excuse me for a moment."
Duoduo Modo stood up and walked to the side and began to contact the alliance's military research institute.
The female official smiled more gently: "Did General Yang Ming prepare these in advance?"
"Hmm," Yang Ming said with a smile, "No one really thinks that I'm here for vacation in your country, right?"
"Yeah?"
The female official asked softly, "But General Yang Ming, I have a few questions and I hope you can help me answer them."
"As you say... Mr. Deputy Prime Minister."
"Does Luo Feng intend to break free from the shackles of the Sherman Empire?"
"It's a bit inappropriate to ask such a sensitive question in this environment," Yang Ming said seriously, "It's not that I don't trust your country's top leaders, but you know better than me how the New Federation CIA has infiltrated your country. Turn off the six hidden cameras and recording devices here, and let's continue our conversation."
The female official frowned slightly: "Please wait a moment."
She stood up and walked to the side, starting to look for her subordinates to confirm whether what Yang Ming said was true.
Boss Yang didn't care about them. He ate and drank as usual and didn't treat himself as outsiders at all.
About twenty minutes later.
Duoduo Moduo and the female official, together with the three newly arrived elderly people, sat opposite Yang Ming.
The light in the cabin dimmed, and more than a dozen guards took away the leftovers on the table, clearing the place in the process.
After having a full meal and a good drink, Yang Ming wiped his mouth.
Get down to business.
"General Yang Ming," Duoduo Moduo frowned and asked, "Are these technologies all shareable with your country?"
"Yes, the technologies on this list are the first batch of technologies that can be shared," Yang Ming said, "Of course, in return, we also need to obtain some of the alliance's technologies. The first principle of diplomacy is reciprocity."
Duoduo Moduo pondered for a few seconds and said, "It sounds fine, but in practice, there are many things to pay attention to. Complete equality does not exist. General Yang Ming, real diplomacy is based on national strength."
"Doesn't the comprehensive strength of the Luofeng Alliance qualify it to establish normal diplomatic relations with the Alliance?"
"Of course there is, but is your alliance stable? Is the core Luofeng Empire still a vassal state of the Sherman Empire..."
Yang Ming raised his right hand and interrupted Duoduo Moduo's story.
There was a faint smile on his lips, and his eyes were full of confidence:
“A deputy prime minister, a chief of staff, two ministers, and a chief scientific adviser to the military must be sufficient to represent the Güell Alliance.
"I need to explain my identity to you before I can continue to talk to you about the next topic.
"Please send an official invitation to Guton Maha and Lyon, the two supreme commanders of our Luofeng Army. They are waiting for the communication now."
Duoduo Moduo took out his own exclusive network access terminal and operated it for a while.
During this process, the cabin was quiet and everyone seemed to remain silent tacitly.
Soon, the communication was connected, and Gudun Maha's old face appeared in front of Yang Ming. Gudun Maha, who had already received the law's order, stood up and saluted Yang Ming.
"Please give me your orders."
"It's okay, hang up."
"yes!"
Gudunmaha took the initiative to cut off communications.
Immediately afterwards, Dabic Lyon's low figure appeared in the communication and saluted Yang Ming in the same way.
"Great one, please issue the order."
"Just to prove myself, it's okay, go and get busy."
"yes!"
Dabic hung up the communication.
You could hear a pin drop in the cabin.
Yang Ming picked up the drink beside him and took a sip, then said with a smile: "Now, am I qualified to talk to you?"
"Excuse me, General Yang Ming, are you the secret dictator of Luo Feng?"
"No, you misunderstood."
Yang Ming said quickly:
"I control the Luofeng army, and use the power I have cultivated over the years to control the armies of all member states of the Luofeng Alliance. This control is not for oppressing the people. You can investigate. The Luofeng army is the most honest and combat-minded army in the current galaxy, because I have never used this army to satisfy my own selfish desires.
“Similarly, what needs to be distinguished is Luofeng’s political and economic system. The military is under my control, while politics is controlled by my good friend Edwang.
"Most of the time, I followed his orders, but he didn't understand military matters, so I had the final say in all military operations.
"We are close comrades-in-arms."
Duoduo Moduo wondered, "How did you do that?"
"It's not polite to ask someone's secrets directly, Mr. Chief of Staff," Yang Ming said, "Let's get back to the point. Has your country considered cooperating with our Luofeng Alliance?"
The Deputy Prime Minister asked: "What kind of cooperation do you want to achieve with us?"
"This depends on your sincerity," Yang Ming said seriously, "This is also a good opportunity for you, because we have decided to announce the termination of our suzerain relationship with the Sherman Empire in the near future."
Everyone's expressions were rich and colorful.
"Does your country have the confidence to face the empire's cull?"
"That's why I took the risk to come here."
Yang Ming said:
“Of course, what happened before was not planned by me. My original intention was to observe this country and see if it is trustworthy. But in fact, we have very few choices. Apart from your country, there is only the United States of Freedom.
“The New Federation is actually the political system with the greatest possibility of reaching cooperation. You know them, and their politicians only care about their own interests. But I personally dislike the New Federation, so I put this option at the end.
“The cooperation I envision has three main stages.
"The first stage is military technology exchange. We both declared ourselves friendly allies and started mutual investment at the economic level. These are not my responsibilities. There will be a specific team to contact your country.
"The second stage is to become a country of military mutual trust, and to strengthen our military cooperation by signing some agreements, including but not limited to regular military exercises between the two countries, sharing of long-range escort resources, and sharing of non-confidential military intelligence.
“The third stage is more spontaneous, full cooperation, but this should be difficult to achieve.
"Let me first tell you what Luo Feng can give you.
"First, let's talk about the military technology on this list. Please assess its value on your own. We will give it to you in batches based on the extent of our cooperation.
"Secondly, Luofeng does not need your support, investment or risk. In fact, including the several new member states that will soon join the alliance, Luofeng's population will exceed 30 billion. It is not convenient to tell you our total military strength for the time being, but we will certainly not let you down. Later, you can send officers into our army to observe for yourselves.
"In addition, political reputation. The Empire's three expeditions have made it politically correct to oppose the Empire in your country. Luo Feng's independence will deal a heavy blow to the Empire.
"Finally, I have to say one more thing...I am not alone."
Duoduo Moduo's eyes flickered: "Even if you don't say it, I can guess it, Mr. Yang Ming, you are actually a representative of a dark force, right?"
"Yes," Yang Ming shrugged, "I am just a worker after all. My team now has only one goal, which is to dismember the Sherman Empire."
The Deputy Prime Minister asked: "If what you said can be realized, we will certainly not stand idly by out of support for democracy and freedom, but...how can you guarantee it?"
"If you have to give me guarantees for everything, then you won't have to take any risks at all, right?"
Yang Ming smiled and said:
“Our cooperation is not something that can be achieved in one step. We need to understand each other and investigate each other.
"Luofeng needs interstellar support and military strength that can threaten the empire from afar.
"I can reveal one thing. We will never directly crash into the Sherman Empire. That would be like hitting a rock with an egg. We have a whole set of policies to wrap up the Sherman Empire.
"I can also give you a contact method... I heard before that the intelligence department of the Guel Alliance has spent a lot of effort trying to get in touch with the leaders of the resistance organizations in the empire, but has not made any progress. I can help you with this."
Yang Ming operated the watch for a while and pushed another envelope over.
These people looked at each other with some suspicion in their eyes.
Yang Ming said: "This verification is a bit troublesome, I can wait."
"Excuse me," Duoduomoduo stood up again and walked to the corner.
Yang Ming began to close his eyes and rest.
More than ten minutes later, Duoduo Moduo hurried back and nodded slightly to a few people.
The Deputy Prime Minister asked: “What kind of organization are you…?”
Yang Ming smiled but said nothing.
"Okay, General Yang Ming," Duoduo Moduo whispered, "You have given us too much information. We need to digest it. How about we continue the discussion in a few galactic hours?"
"Tomorrow."
Yang Ming said: "I have to go back to the Luofeng Mission later, otherwise there will probably be a large-scale protest march in Luofeng. We can't really turn against the Sherman Empire now."
Duoduo Moduo hesitated: "This..."
"Okay," the Vice Prime Minister nodded. "This is basic respect for our partners. We will send you back with formal diplomatic etiquette later and announce the news to the public."
"Get me a stretcher. I want to continue pretending to be injured."
"Oh, okay."
"Also," Yang Ming looked at Duoduo Moduo with a smile, "our leader asked me to bring you greetings. To show our sincerity, we will help you teach Allison a lesson. He is too unruly."
Chief of Staff Duoduo Moduo's eyes widened, and after a few seconds he slowly nodded and said in a deep voice: "Thank your leader for me."
"See you tomorrow."
Yang Ming stood up, saluted, and walked out the door with his hands behind his back.
Although Duoduo Moduo's left hand was trembling slightly, he quickly made a call, arranged a space stretcher and a medical team, and helped Yang Ming pretend to be injured.
After Yang Ming left the cabin, Duoduo Moduo let out a breath, his eyes flickering.
"Modo, is there any confidential information that cannot be disclosed to us?"
"No, it's just some personal matters," Duoduo Moduo whispered, "My personal suggestion is to try to cooperate with Luofeng and give Luofeng enough support. This is a gamble that doesn't cost much for us. Even if there are risks, we will only lose some of the resources we send out as aid."
"Why? Is it related to the leader he mentioned?"
"Yes, please don't ask any more questions. I need to discuss this with the Prime Minister before deciding whether to announce this to the public."
The atmosphere in the cabin became gloomy again.
