Chapter 417 Target, Abawaku
Chapter 417 Target, A. Bawa Ku
Within the Federation, the Heine System - Heine 3.
As a 'planetary ecological reserve', this planet prohibits entry and exit of any unrelated personnel, so that this terrestrial planet has not been developed by humans for the time being, and everything is maintained in the most natural appearance.
However, in a certain seaside area of the planet, there is a huge building that is not included in the planet's "man-made buildings" registration catalog.
The flying saucer-shaped building built on the top of a tall cliff is surrounded by lush virgin forest on one side and the endless ocean on the other side. This kind of clean and pure scenery is rare in the territory currently controlled by humans.
On the giant apron outside the building, there are many space shuttles that you can tell are expensive just by looking at their appearance. They are parked quietly in the indication area, just like a group of birds competing for beauty, flying from all over the place. The angle shows the strength of their 'master'.
Obviously, this is not a protected area monitoring station or other scientific research facility, and the extremely luxurious decoration inside the building has nothing to do with 'scientific research'.
The identities of the brightly dressed guests inside, whose single coat can be worth the lifetime income of the lower-class residents, are also very simple. They are the actual controllers of the major giant companies in the federation, or to some extent. Deep State'.
"Recently, this Army Lieutenant General seems to be doing more and more small things. I don't know what he has done. Among the 'consumables' below, there are actually people who want to report him."
On the pool table, a middle-aged man suddenly spoke after pushing the target ball into the hole.
"A lieutenant general who was sent to the army after a defeat can't make any waves." Another man, who also held a bumper stick, continued while watching his opponent play, "So those who want to report it, you Has it been dealt with?"
"Of course we'll dispose of it, or else we'll leave it in the factory below as a time bomb?"
The middle-aged man who was asked nodded, as if 'dealing' with the people below was a very common thing, and even went on to add: "Let the 'cleaning team' do the work, and it will be done neatly." , nothing was left.”
"Then what should we do with the Lieutenant General? It's not a good thing to let him continue to investigate like this."
Another man, who was sitting on the sofa watching the two of them play, said while scrolling through his personal terminal, "What if he really compiles some materials and submits them directly to the federal court, although it may not be possible. But at least you have to send people to do superficial work and act, and maybe you have to pick a few unlucky people to take the blame. "
Beside the man, two human cat ladies who had been 'created' animalistic features through genetic engineering were kneading him carefully, raising their heads and rubbing against his neck from time to time, just like real cats.
On the other side, the man who completed the pool again but missed the target ball stood up and said while looking at the two 'cat girls':
"Let's keep our subordinates in good hands, and the lieutenant general can't get any substantial evidence to say that this 'cat lady' like you Gabriel Biotech really doesn't consider investing in the market?"
"The Ethics Committee keeps rejecting it. What can I do? Anyway, they think this kind of genetic engineering is unethical and illegal, so they never let our application pass." The man sitting on the sofa was a little frustrated. He spoke.
"Then give me a few."
"No problem, what's the relationship between us? I'll have someone send you a few later."
"Hey you two." The middle-aged man who was about to hit the ball straightened up and looked at the two people who were off topic, with some displeasure on his face.
"Don't think of this matter too simply. Although Van Fleet has no command authority, he is a lieutenant general in the army and has some relatively capable confidants under him. If he is determined to investigate, no one will Know what he'll find out."
"Then what should I do? I ask the cleaning team to silence him too?"
"It's not impossible, but I guess our dear President Brandon will fall out with us."
"WOW, gentlemen. Why did I hear such a hot topic as soon as I came here~" A woman in a dress suddenly came to this area. She exuded a mature atmosphere, but her appearance seemed But she is no different from a young girl.
"Mrs. Paris, why are you here?" The three men near the pool table stopped what they were doing and stood up to greet the lady.
"Aren't you just wandering around in boredom? When I heard you talking about Lieutenant General Van Fleet, I planned to come to you to complain." Paris unfolded a small and exquisite folding fan, covered her mouth and smiled.
"He is an army lieutenant general. He can't threaten your angry ships no matter what, right?"
"You are right, but the Vice Admiral who is hiding behind the scenes in the Navy, his recent actions are similar to General Van Fleet. He is not very strict in the field of supervision and inspection. In addition to our Furious Waves, there are others. Several shipping companies have been investigated."
Paris said in a resentful tone, and at the same time sat on a sofa near the pool table. Her clothes, which were slightly tight due to her sitting posture, perfectly showed off her beautiful body, which made several men even a little nervous. Can't look away.
"You mean these two people have discussed and cooperated?"
"It's very possible. After all, my people have taken photos of them appearing in the same tavern at the same time, and it's not exactly once or twice. They have met frequently since the supervision began."
"So the two of them exchanged information through this offline communication method? No wonder my team monitored them for so long and didn't get any valuable information." After hearing what Paris said, a man said, He nodded thoughtfully.
"So, gentlemen, it's time for us to think of something. We don't want them to continue investigating." Paris said while gently fanning her fan.
"It's still too risky to send a 'cleanup team' to deal with it. Lieutenant General-level security, especially their personal security, is not a vegetarian."
"Then I'm going to 'beat' the Army Commander and ask him to find a way to restrain Van Fleet? This guy has received a lot of benefits from us, so it's time to do something."
"What about Guterres? Trafalgar has always been on the front line, and it's rare to get in touch with him. And even if he comes back, I probably won't be able to convince this old immortal to help us restrain his men."
These few people who control most of the federal wealth were discussing among themselves, but it was obvious that they could not come up with a proper solution in a short period of time. At the same time, the discussion among them gradually digressed to another topic they had. It's a very hot topic internally recently.
"Atlas, have you figured out how to deal with it?" Paris asked.
At this time, besides the four people at the beginning, there was another group of people beside the pool table.
During the discussion between Paris and others, people kept joining in, and finally a small 'meeting' was formed.
To a certain extent, they are the real controllers behind the Federation. Their "tentacles" have penetrated into every corner of the Federation, including finance, military, scientific research, and government. Wherever there are people, there will be traces of them. .
The federal politicians are just their puppets, performing like puppets on the front stage under their strings, making the people believe that this is still a democratic and free country.
But in fact, these people control the life, old age, illness and death of everyone in the Federation through their control of all walks of life and the formulation of various rules.
"While it's still unstable, let's join forces to crush it." Someone suggested, and this suggestion immediately gained the approval of others.
"It's just a private company. Although it seems that it does have some strength and can defeat the federal regular army head-on, after all, it is just a company. As long as everyone present unites, no matter how strong Atlas is, it will be difficult for him to do it with two fists." Enemy four hands."
The people who spoke in agreement saw that the ‘big shots’ including Paris also noticed their words, and immediately continued:
"Although the fleets of your companies do not have real capital ships in order to comply with federal laws, I also know that you cannot really be so honest. I don't need to say anything about what you are doing behind the scenes.
If we can form a huge joint fleet - this will be a civilian armed fleet of unprecedented scale. In this case, even if Atlas goes all out, they will have to bow their heads under the absolute suppression of strength. "
"Don't forget, Atlas has those advanced technologies, inter-galactic communication technology, and super flagships. These are currently technical barriers for us." The man who first hit the billiard ball said. There is still some uncertainty about this suggestion of 'crushing' Atlas.
"That's why we have to complete the infiltration before Atlas completely builds technical barriers!" The man who just put forward the suggestion of 'encirclement and suppression of Atlas' said firmly:
"Think about it, if we can obtain this inter-galactic communication technology, as well as the blueprints of the super flagship, as well as the unexposed technologies within Atlas, it will trigger a new technological revolution!"
As soon as he said these words, many people who originally had a wait-and-see attitude immediately became interested. After all, Atlas, a force that suddenly appeared, exposed its technical strength far beyond everyone's imagination.
Therefore, the military industry companies on the federal side have been coveting many of Atlas' technologies for a long time, but they have never found a way to obtain these 'technologies'.
But now, a brand new choice is before them - to get rid of Atlas, and then divide the 'legacy' it leaves behind.
Looking at the crowd that was getting excited, Paris half-covered her face with a fan and smiled calmly. After laying the groundwork for so long, her goal was almost achieved.
As the actual controller of the Furious Ship and countless enterprises, Paris has long realized the value of the technologies displayed by Atlas.
But she didn't want to risk her own power, so these companies that were weaker than hers became high-quality cannon fodder.
When they fight Atlas to a bloody end and both lose, she can complete the 'take it all'.
"Then here comes a new question. If we want to make Atlas surrender through force, we should first figure out the target of the attack, right?"
While everyone was discussing how to kill Atlas, a more cautious guy asked the people around him:
“All along, the information we have controlled is that Atlas is a company of the Thousand Stars Empire, and we also know that its headquarters is in the prosperous star cluster of the Thousand Stars Empire.
But the problem is that we cannot shake this headquarters located in the Thousand Stars Empire. I believe that none of you here would be able to think of going to the realm of elves to do such a thing. In this case, where should we attack in order to let Does Atlas feel 'pain'? "
This person's words immediately cooled down the heated discussion, and many people immediately realized that this was indeed the case. They discussed it for a long time, but they didn't even discuss the attack on Atlas.
"I do have news, but it needs to be verified." Seeing that the heat began to decrease, Paris suddenly said:
“Atlas once acquired a company called Mary Bay Industries. According to my information, before Atlas completed the acquisition, there was an armed conflict with Mary Bay Industries.
Although a defense company that was cooperating with Mary Bay Industries at that time was basically absorbed, there were still a group of people who did not choose to join Atlas. One of them even participated in the negotiation between the two parties at that time. decisive battle. "
"So Mrs. Paris, you found this guy?"
"Yes, I not only found him, but also obtained the coordinates of an asteroid belt from him. According to him, Atlas has an asteroid base built here."
Paris' words suddenly attracted everyone's attention. Although she is a woman, she actually controls the most companies and capital in the room. No one even knows that this woman How many companies does it control?
Therefore, people still have a relatively high degree of acceptance of her news.
"Is there anything special about this asteroid base?"
"Of course. Otherwise I wouldn't tell you~" Paris smiled and did not continue.
"Mrs. Paris, please stop showing off!" someone in the crowd said with a smile.
"Then I said it. According to the information my people have obtained through various channels, Atlas Group's super network technology capabilities, as well as the 'quantum entanglement communication technology' that we are most concerned about - its core is likely to be Inside this asteroid base."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd fell silent at first, and then the discussion immediately became louder.
After all, the attraction of 'quantum entanglement communication technology' is really too great. Although the heads of many companies present had to purchase services from Atlas in pain, they also had to admit that this technology is real. Easy to use.
However, someone quickly woke up and asked a key question.
"Mrs. Paris, can you tell us how you obtained such important information and why you are willing to share it with us?"
