Chapter 195: Secret Entry
However, if the arms dealer only reaches this point, it will not affect the overall situation. It's just a little more effort for the guards.
But the key problem is that the technology in the hands of that arms dealer is developing so fast, God knows what else he can come up with in the future.
What if he really builds some large-scale interstellar battleship?
Compared with the current situation, this is what Marentin values most.
This is the real reason why the loss of just one cargo ship allowed Malentin to directly convene his direct relatives and hold a top-level meeting.
"We must find a way to deal with this arms dealer. No matter the cost. Remember, no matter the cost."
Malentin had really made up his mind at this moment.
Wolfe pondered: "To solve this arms dealer's power, we must first find out where he is hiding. At present, there are only two possibilities. One, hidden in the outer solar system where our control is weak. Second, hidden under our control The inner solar system with stronger force.
The two are distinguished by the Kuiper Belt. "
The Kuiper Belt is similar to the asteroid belt and is also composed of a large number of small celestial bodies, but it is farther from the sun and beyond the orbit of Neptune.
Pluto is a Kuiper Belt object. In addition to the more famous celestial bodies, there are Eris, Sedna and so on.
Among them, Eris is larger than Pluto. It was the discovery of Eris that directly led to Pluto being eliminated from the ranks of major planets and downgraded to a dwarf planet.
"Judging from the production capacity and technology upgrade speed of this arms dealer, it is almost certain that he must have a relatively large base. And since there is a large base, it must involve sufficient movement of personnel and materials.
It is impossible to transfer such a large amount of people and materials to the outer solar system without us noticing. "
Wolfe gave his conclusion very straightforwardly.
As the commander-in-chief of the Earth Guard, he is very confident in the Eta people's control over the solar system.
Trino, the Minister of the Underworld, said: "So it's inside the solar system? But... with such a huge base under our noses, this is even more impossible."
Malentin emphasized his tone: "But this arms dealer does exist."
This is impossible, and that is impossible, but he exists. How to explain this?
How do you explain it to me?
Fan Liteng, senior counselor at the Governor's Office, said calmly: "Then there are only two possibilities. One, this arms dealer adopted some method that we have not yet mastered, completed the transfer of a large amount of manpower and material resources to the outer solar system, built a base and quickly A project of technological iteration.
Second, this arms dealer's base is in the inner solar system, but... it has a protective umbrella. "
Fan Liteng's words silenced all the participants.
There are really only two possibilities...but compared to the first possibility, the second possibility is more believable.
After all, it is incredible and unbelievable to complete such a large-scale transfer of personnel and materials without attracting one's own attention.
"The second possibility means that there is a mole among us Eta people."
Fan Liteng's words were still calm, but the coldness in them was as cold as ice: "And the mole's level must be very high."
If the level is not high enough, how can it cover up such a big movement?
After defining the scope of "the mole must have a very high level", there are very few people to doubt.
Malentin's brain was spinning rapidly, sifting through suspicious persons over and over in his mind.
Everything big and small since the appearance of this mysterious arms dealer, intelligence from all aspects, the attitude and reaction of every high-ranking Eta person in this, as well as various trends and changes in the situation in the local galaxy and solar system and development, all went through in Marentin's mind.
Gradually, a name emerged.
Witt!
After Rotterit was assassinated, Witte succeeded to the position of commander of the Eta fleet in the solar system with the consent of the Eta civilization!
He looked at his assistant Fan Li Teng and saw his mouth move slightly as he said the name in his heart: "Commander Witte."
Wolfe was suddenly shocked and full of disbelief: "How could it be him?!"
"I'm not sure it's him, but he's the most likely suspect."
Fan Liten's tone was cold: "He has always been the deputy commander and has been seeking the position of commander. However, the rebels assassinated Rotterit and he succeeded in taking office. Among them, he benefited the most."
Malentin said coldly: "When the secret of Rotterit's itinerary was leaked, we have not been able to find the leaker. Now it seems that Witt is also a big suspect."
Trino also said in disbelief: "Just seeking the position of commander? How dare he secretly support the rebels and hinder the Pluto development strategy? Don't forget, the Pluto development strategy is related to whether our civilization can survive smoothly 'Electric disaster', to a certain extent, can even be said to be related to the life and death of our civilization!"
"Witt belongs to the military faction in the civilized homeland. I have received information that the military faction does not seem to support the use of force to fight the 'electric disaster', and is more inclined to abandon the Eta galaxy and relocate the entire civilization to other galaxies.
Humph, once the Civilization Committee decides to use force to fight the power disaster, the military must be the actual executor. In this process, it is hard to say which faction within the military will suffer the most losses. For safety, it is best not to use force to fight the power disaster, but to relocate directly, so that the strength of several factions can be preserved.
From this point of view, the military has every motivation to hinder the Pluto development strategy! "
Fan Li Teng continued: "The struggle in the solar system is just a continuation of the struggle between the top leaders of our Ita civilization. A solar system is not very meaningful to the native civilization.
But if the other aspects are united, the failure of the Pluto development strategy in the solar system can become a powerful excuse for the military to refuse the solution to the power disaster by force! "
After thinking through this, the hearts of several Ita people present were immediately filled with coldness.
I didn't expect that there were so many involvements behind this...
"Supporting the rebels, the initiative is completely in Witt's hands. He can cut off support at any time. At that time, the rebels will immediately lose their combat effectiveness and become lambs to be slaughtered, and can be easily solved by him. In this way, the situation will be under control and will not get out of control. "
"Instructing the rebels to assassinate Rotrit and becoming the commander himself; secretly supporting the rebels, destroying the Pluto development strategy, and implementing the will of the civilized native military...
What a good move, this Witt really has both public and private interests, completing the tasks of the faction behind him and seeking his own promotion..."
