Chapter 1272 New Star Project (Part 1)
Walton said: "Its existence time is only half a month at most, which is already the limit of what Tang Fang can do. Before its tissue cells are completely necrotic, I will send a replacement. Pay attention to arrange the itinerary and plan, and don't engage in There is a possibility of giving away. I think you should be very clear about what kind of disaster it will bring to the Smith family if someone finds out that His Majesty the Holy Emperor is a counterfeit."
What Walton said was very rude, but it was true. He has no choice now, no, it should be said that the entire Smith family has been tied to Tang Fang's chariot. Once the fake Saint Emperor incident is exposed, Tang Fang's base is in the Star Alliance, and he will suffer a loss of reputation at most, but what about him? What about the Smith family? The most likely result is to become the target of public criticism, become the common enemy of radicals and conservatives, and be sentenced to death.
If he jumped out of the car halfway and chose to expose the true face of "His Majesty the Holy Emperor", not to mention whether he could do it, even if he did, he and his family would still be unable to escape the revenge forged by Morningstar.
Walton said he would leave, not that Nova would follow suit.
Virginia Alexander is dead, what is she still doing here, the answer is self-evident... It is a kind of urging, a kind of help for him, and also a sword of Damoris hanging above his head.
Marlo Smith felt that he had come to a crossroads in his life. He was a little confused and had many fears. He didn't know what to do or what to do.
He has always thought that he is a talent, and outsiders call him the most politically promising all-rounder in the Smith family. Whether it is due to his high self-esteem or the praise of outsiders, he has a feeling of elation and my heart is flying, thinking that as long as he can work hard and take one thing seriously, it is easy to make shocking achievements.
However, time has come to today, and things have evolved to this point, and he realizes that he is so helpless and insignificant in the face of complicated international and domestic situations. It wasn't until this moment that he deeply realized how big the gap was between the two compared with Captain Tang. Outsiders have always thought that Tang Fang's ability to reach today's heights is due to luck, and this is only one aspect... Another irrefutable fact is that Captain Tang has the corresponding talent, and eventually became the most dazzling new star in the Hillenbel region.
He was convinced by him, and he bowed down to him.
He looked at Walton and said, "Did Tang Fang...didn't leave a message, such as telling me what to do."
Walton shook his head: "He just asked me to tell you that he believes that you will find a solution, because human talents are flexible, and they will shine most brightly only when they are forced by external forces."
Marlo Smith looked at the impostor with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Walton didn't stay long, saying that since the goods and messages had been brought, it was time to leave. Dilar Star System was speeding up its internal construction tasks, and it was the time when there was a shortage of manpower. If he really didn't stay long, even Marlo? Smith didn't even eat the specially prepared dinner, and left the Durham star system very simply, returning to the base camp.
Watching the Nightmare disappear into the dark and cold space, Nova said without turning her head, "What are your plans?"
Marlo Smith looked at his profile printed on the inner wall of the porthole, and said calmly, "I... seem to know where to start, but I need your help."
Nova said: "Tang Fang asked me to stay here to help you deal with the affairs of the Phoenix Empire. It is my responsibility for Black 5 to kill Virginia Alexander. I must make up for the loss so as not to lose the reputation of the Terra family."
Marlo Smith was a little surprised to hear these words, because this was the first time Nova spoke about herself. Could it be that this lady agent who always has a cold expression and looks serious to everyone, like him, is of noble origin and has the honor and pride of being noble?
"The murder of His Majesty the Holy Emperor is not just your negligence, I am also very responsible."
"It's best for you to think this way. Because it will help you better complete the tasks assigned by Tang Fang."
She still speaks so seriously,
So you are welcome, even if the two parties are already familiar with each other, they are not as wary as they were when they first met.
As a man and an aristocrat, he certainly has a gentlemanly demeanor. He didn't care about Nova's outspokenness, and said with a smile: "I doubt that Captain Tang is acting as a shopkeeper on the issue of the Phoenix Empire. Is it a dragon?" The fire of the Whisperer... has burned to the buttocks. It really hurts..."
Nova turned her head and glared at him: "You still have the heart to love him? With that kind of energy... you might as well think about your next step."
Marlo Smith said, "Is that all you care about other people? How candid."
Nova didn't speak, and continued to walk forward.
………………
Not long after Marlo Smith spoke publicly to appease the public, Virginia Alexander appeared in front of the media camera, but his face was a little pale, and he looked like he was recovering from a serious illness. It was not at all like the earl said before that he was just frightened.
Politicians like to avoid the important and ignore the minor on many occasions. People are not surprised by Marlo Smith's deliberate downplaying. Instead, they think that what is happening now is normal. His Majesty the Holy Emperor was indeed injured, but it seems that he has recovered, and many people are relieved. I feel that with the presence of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, the sky will not fall.
This is not the Star Alliance, not the Charles Federation. Long-term enslavement education and propaganda to the people have created the living conditions of the people of the Phoenix Empire.
Morrison regarded him as the savior, the great sage, and the reincarnation of the Divine Phoenix. Although some relatively smart guys among ordinary people are not so pedantic, they still naively think that His Majesty the Holy Emperor is a good leader who sincerely serves the people, but was kidnapped by the interest groups below, and any policy with a good starting point will be misinterpreted and alienated. It has become the Shangfang sword used by corrupt officials to eat Naka's demands.
Yes, this is the class of smart people in the Phoenix Empire... They never thought of overthrowing the rule of the Alexander family and choosing the future with their own hands and brains.
Some people's most common argument is that, as an ordinary citizen, it is enough to do a good job. As for state affairs, that is something that the royal family and high-ranking officials need to worry about.
Enslavement... to the bone marrow! Such people often think that they are smart, cheerful, and open-minded... In fact, at least in Nova's view, they are the most stupid, most unbearable, ugly, most humble, most despicable, and most shameless garbage in the world!
Such people don't value their own rights and destiny, so how can they expect others to respect their rights and destiny? Such a person is very pitiful, but even more hateful!
She really couldn't understand why Tang Fang was so kind, so kind, and gentle to such a guy.
After coming to the Phoenix Empire, she met many people and heard many voices. She found that she vaguely understood why Virginia Alexander spoke with such contempt and disdain for her own people when she was on the Angel. He has enough reasons to look down on them... Although this is the situation he likes to see, it is a situation caused by the deliberate guidance of the imperial power group headed by him.
After Marlo Smith came forward to clarify the rumors of Virginia Alexander's death, the prince group headed by Hegel Alexander used the excuse of visiting his father to meet His Majesty the Holy Emperor one after another, or took his father to his territory for acceptance. better treatment. But when Virginia Alexander reappeared in front of the media and warned the people of the whole country not to be used by ambitious people, continue to promote reforms quickly, break the old framework, and improve the supervision system, the princes who were originally full of filial piety became shrunken one by one. A tortoise, dare not speak a big word.
Virginia Alexander asked the eldest son of the emperor, Hegel Alexander, to take the lead and be the first to go to the grassroots level of the army to exercise his hard-working spirit. However, the other party used it to deal with Lawrence Alexander's territory, which was attacked by swarms of insects and needed to do aftermath work , once he finished this matter, he would obey his father's order and go to the grassroots level to study again as an excuse, hang up the waiver card, and delay time.
Although the incident of Tang Fang and the Dragon Whisperer caused a lot of trouble internationally, it did not have much impact on the political chaos of the Phoenix Empire. After all, except for Marlowe Smith and Nova, no one knew about His Majesty the Holy Emperor. Captain Tang stood behind him. Even if Sfinkel, Ingrid and others had doubts, they could not provide direct evidence. The fact that the territory of Lawrence Alexander was attacked and the Queen of Blades went on a killing spree was very real. It has dealt a big blow to the radicals... At least, Ingrid Alexander is going home for the funeral, isn't he?
The retreat of the radicals did not calm the social situation of the Phoenix Empire for too long. When Lawrence Alexander held the funeral, Virginia Alexander, who was a brother, did not come to express condolences, because an incident occurred in the Fillmos star system. Major event --- Robert Sherwood's shuttle, the current finance minister of the empire, was attacked by unknown gangsters on the way to the funeral, and all members including his family were killed.
Finance Minister Robert Sherwood, as a figure in the real power of the empire, is regarded as a die-hard supporter of His Majesty the Holy Emperor and the number one key figure in the conservative faction. His attack caused turbulent waves to erupt in the treacherous political atmosphere of the Phoenix Empire.
Virginia Alexander pointed out in stern terms that this was an act of blatant resistance to the New Deal by the group of imperial careerists, because Robert Sherwood was in charge of investigating the help of Mr. Key figures in money laundering and asset transfer incidents.
Originally a careerist... Now he has risen to the careerist group!
Virginia Alexander called on all citizens to unite and give harsh rulings to those shameless nobles who sent their wives and children to the United States of Jupiter, but desperately seized resources in the country and plundered the land and wealth of civilians, because in a sense, this It is an act of colonization.
These people became colonists, the Phoenix Empire became a colony, and the people who lived in this land became slaves and prisoners who lost their homes and land and allowed officials and nobles to keep sucking blood.
Virginia Alexander's impassioned speech ignited the anger and hatred of the people, and set off a larger-scale turmoil in the already stormy society. Then, with the active cooperation and guidance of the agents of the Star Alliance and the Silver Eagle Group, the resistance movement began to become a wave of innovation, and the investigation and trial of Inoue Nio and others were also forcibly civilianized. The arrest of some nobles and officials does not need to go through procedures, nor does it need to conduct detailed investigations. As long as the special charges of corrupt officials are "swiped" on them, there are always applicable regulations.
Protests, demonstrations, criticisms, public trials, shocks, arbitrary accusations, mutual exposure... All kinds of chaos turned into a gust of wind and swept across the remote areas of the Phoenix Empire, and spread to the core of the Firmos star system at an extremely fast speed.
Distrust is fermenting among the people. The laws and regulations originally used to protect the rule of nobles and officials and maintain social order are on the verge of collapse. They generally follow the instructions of His Majesty the Holy Emperor. However, in the actual implementation process, members of the reform committee have However, the relationship between committee members is not harmonious, just like the struggle in the officialdom, which has evolved into hilltopism and crony groups, which has greatly affected social production and life, and even the originally high-ranking officials have become trembling and dare not create political conflicts. Again, dare not resort to force.
Because everyone knows that the current situation is different from the original. In the past, the power group headed by the royal family was attached to the big tree of the Phoenix Empire to suck blood together. Now there are irreparable cracks in the power group. A complete victory will end this dispute.
None of the bureaucrats at the grass-roots level and the middle-level level are willing to become targets and pawns for the fighting parties at this juncture.
Undoubtedly, this fueled the arrogance of the Imperial Sword Guards and the reform committee, and gave the lower-level people who were eager for power but could not find a way to rise to the opportunity to release their desires and take revenge on corrupt officials. .
Radicals accused the reform committee and the Emperor Sword Guards of distorting His Majesty's statement, which made the social situation of the Phoenix Empire turbulent.
The members of the reform committee have Virginia Alexander backing them, and they scolded the radicals tit-for-tat. If they hadn't allowed officials and lackeys to bully and humiliate the people at the bottom, how could they have attracted the hatred of the people? This kind of moment explodes. Is it better to release civil grievances, resolve class conflicts, and preserve the Alexander family's long-term foundation, or barely maintain social harmony and stability, and let hatred continue to breed and intensify among the people?
