Chapter 835: A Meeting to Discuss the Expedition to the Alien Alliance
The day after Ares came back, Lu Shao contacted Tang Xuan. Although he didn't say it explicitly, there was a hint of "possible war" in his words.
Three days later, Tang Xuan was invited to attend a high-level meeting.
Although Tang Ranran is too lazy to fight for power, as the empire's currently recognized chief planter, and as the pioneer of new energy (energy stones), Tang Xuan's position in the empire is very important. Most major and important meetings are attended by Tang Xuan. a place. In most cases, Tang Ranran was a spectator at the meeting, and this time was no exception.
However, she wanted to be a quiet audience, but someone named her as a cue.
There was a guy who proposed that Tang Xuan be the head of the Empire's General Military Supplies Department.
Tang Ranran was frightened to death.
The head of the General Munitions Department sounds majestic, but is actually a hard worker. Being chased by the major legions every day for supplies and military expenses, and having to go to the finance department every day to beg for military expenses, and begging the major suppliers to let them sell more goods, is simply not the work of humans!
Let her be the boss of the munitions department? What the hell, this is the military department that wants her to pay out of her own pocket!
The empire has tens of billions of troops, but she can't afford it!
Tang Ranran said in a docile manner, "I am too young, not strong enough, not experienced enough, and not qualified for the job." The translation is: Get lost, I won't do it!
Tang Ranran was extremely determined and just wouldn't do it.
This topic has passed.
Then, the topic progressed to the highlight of today's meeting, the crusade against the Detanai Alien Alliance.
Yan Qian's whereabouts are temporarily unknown, but Lu Shao and Yuan Wei are back. Only half of the wood and healing elements they rescued are from the weak wave, and they are all controlled by Chi Tu's special power. , currently still being 'rescued'...
The relevant situation is completely clear, and it is confirmed that it was the leader of the Detanai Alien Alliance who did it.
The Detanai Alien Alliance itself has many star thief groups, and many of their members are on the empire's wanted list. This time their leader has kidnapped many of the wood and healing elements in the empire. Can this be tolerated?
Of course I can't bear it!
If the Detanai alien alliance is not destroyed, the Federation, Zerg and other alien races will all think that their empire is a soft persimmon!
Having set this precedent, if they do nothing, others will only think that they are easy to bully. In the future, can the safety of their empire's wood and healing systems be guaranteed?
The radicals were filled with indignation and clamored for a major war. They launched a large force of starships in the sky to destroy the entire Detanai Alien Alliance. They used thunderous means to let all races in the interstellar know that those who violated the empire would not be punished. He will be killed if he is far away!
But there are also conservatives. Conservatives mean that they are going to war, the military expenditure is too high, the distance is too far, the stronghold of the Detanai Alien Alliance is uncertain, they are unfamiliar with the place, and the Free Alliance star field is all aliens... ...Even if they win under all kinds of difficulties, it will not bring much substantial benefit to them. It is better to form a high-powered combat team and travel lightly to kill the leaders of the Detanai Alien Alliance.
Radicals and conservatives are noisy.
In the end, the radicals gained the upper hand. Going out with starship troops is to show the majesty of the empire. It can be said to be equivalent to a hard-core military exercise. It has a certain deterrent effect on the aliens living in the Free Alliance star field, as well as the Zerg and the Federation. This is very necessary. .
But there is a very real problem facing us, and that is military spending.
War is a waste of money. Pulling a starship group to go on an expedition would really be a burning military expense. Hundreds of millions and hundreds of millions would not be able to see the burning speed of a spark.
The representatives from the finance side shook their heads, no money, really no money!
The representatives on the military side also said: there is insufficient food and supplies.
Some people suggested raising donations, some suggested reducing the funding of other government departments, some suggested imposing taxes... Others suggested using energy stones as a new energy source and bringing vegetable growing trays to make up for the lack of food, grass and chemicals.
The suggestion of planting a vegetable plate is very targeted, and the standard is directed at Tang Ranran.
Tang Ranran could only speak again, "It is not that easy to make a vegetable tray! I have been working overtime for 16 hours a day! If you expect me alone, you might as well expect the elites you sent to learn quickly..."
There are a lot of things about Tang Ranran, but the central idea is: Don't worry about me, don't do it!
At the end of the meeting, the main theme was the expedition of the star fleet, but there is no solution to the issue of military expenses for the expedition.
We will do this today and continue the meeting next time.
After the meeting ended and exited the online mode, Tang Ranran had just rested for a few minutes when Chen Yongfeng came to communicate. The patient had arrived on the planet and had completed the preliminary identity verification and was about to be sent over.
Tang Ranran replied, 'Okay. ’
Speaking, when Lu Shao and Yuan Wei came back, they brought back a group of people, but they were all controlled by Chi Tu.
It was completely different from the red mist before. Even the mysterious sparks had no effect on the previous rescue method. This was obviously a higher level of control.
Several tracking and control agencies in the empire have tried to counter-track or release the control, but they all failed.
Yan Yijun, whom Tang Ranran knew, couldn't be traced. Instead, he vomited a large mouthful of blood.
Obviously, due to the strength gap, Chi Tu's strength is too high, and his deep control has not been able to find a solution for the time being.
Gu Siyao, who is busy planting magical vines, has gone to an exclusive hospital where patients are concentrated for expert consultation, but so far, there has been no progress.
Tang Ranran, who has something to do with healing, was also assigned a patient.
We should give it a try.
The patient sent to Su Jinggong was named Chen, a SS wood-type healing type, and had some kinship with Chen Yongfeng, so as soon as he arrived on the planet, Chen Yongfeng actively contacted Tang Ranran, got her reply, and sent him over as soon as possible.
When the person arrived, Tang Ranran took out her nine-layer tortoise shell and had a consultation in the special medical vehicle outside.
As a non-professional doctor, Tang Ranran's diagnosis process was to try this medicine, try that medicine...
Four medicines that were transformed from elixirs to remove negative states were tried, but the control state did not lift.
Tang Ranran said helplessly that there was nothing she could do, she could not save him.
That night, when the Tang Xuan No. 1 assembly line was closed, Tang Ranran logged in to check the intelligent brain and saw many missed calls from Gu Siyao.
After calling back, the two had a conversation.
Gu Siyao said that as long as he was promoted to 5S level, he would be able to remove the spiritual control of the alien alliance leader!
Therefore, Gu Siyao came to her for help.
Gu Siyao's magical vine is almost 90, and according to his own speed, it will take another ten days or half a month.
Tang Ranran calculated that if she took action, it would take at most two days to complete.
If time passes, the patient... If Chi Tu uses a long-distance "spiritual power absorption method", it will all be gone, and the empire will suffer a great loss.
So, okay.
...
