Hidden Yao Era

Cuthbert said: "It's too complicated, and the great patriarchs of the Martian nobility initially thought that the 'Brotherhood of Yellow' was completely controlled by the Pluto Rover Church. Several of our patriarchs felt they could rely on this organization to contain the Arbitration Commission. You see, this is the bill that Lucan gave me, and although they have repeatedly laundered money, these electronic money bills can still be traced to the source. "

Casto checked the bill carefully, and he broke out in a cold sweat as he looked at it. There were people he knew, even some childhood friends involved, and some prominent Martian aristocratic family members were also on the bill. After reading this, Casto asked puzzledly: "Aren't we in the same camp as the Arbitration Committee? Why do we want to support such a cult organization?" "

Uncle Cuthbert replied, "It was, and it will be...... Probably not. The arbitration committee is coveting our wealth. They have always wanted to use our wealth, but they had little power more than a decade ago, and the firefighters were controlled by us. We didn't pay much attention to them, we just treated them as mascots. But in the past ten years, as there have been fewer and fewer young officers of the aristocracy, our control has become weaker and weaker. The Arbitration Committee wants to take full control of this solar system, and they have taken advantage of the Thunderfire Group and Jupiter Industries' top brass to continuously grab profits and monopolize weapons manufacturing. And relying on the prestige of Konstantin Chu, he built an army subordinate to himself. We were on guard at first, but we couldn't stand the fact that they had infiltrated too many people. Many of us have also turned to the arbitration committee. With the acquiescence of various forces, the BAC itself has become more and more powerful. They are especially fond of exploiting the belligerent mood of the civilian population and absorbing the civilian elite. And in order to restrain them, we used the 'Brotherhood of Yellow' to sacrifice young officers and stifle their development. "

Casto said with some indignation, "What's wrong with Curtis? What's more, he's not a civilian officer." "

Uncle Cuthbert replied, "I told you before that there are fights between the major families, and they don't want any family to have too much say in the army. Curtis's family has had a number of officers occupy key positions in recent years, and Curtis is quieter by nature. They are afraid that he will enter the staff civilian agency in the future and influence the central decision-making with more family members. "

Casto pretended to laugh sarcastically: "Heh, the calculation is really fine. We don't really need to fight against the arbitration committee. Aren't our interests the same? As the authority of the arbitration commission continues to expand, we will certainly benefit from it. "

Uncle Cuthbert denied, "No, if the Arbitration Council wants to control this universe, they will inevitably clash with other forces in this universe. At that point, our business interests will be damaged. "

Casto asked rhetorically, "Shouldn't they control this universe? They are the most orthodox organization in the post-imperial era." "

Uncle Cuthbert replied, "The patriarch of our Martian nobles thinks that it should be our Martian nobles who control the solar system and even the entire universe. We have countless wealth and resources, and the commercial centers of the entire universe are concentrated in us. I also just learned about the stupid things these patriarchs have done, they have been hiding it from us soldiers before, and even their own family members are unwilling to reveal these news. I didn't know until the fucking war on Mars that there were people from our family in the Brotherhood in Yellow. Lucan enlisted your cousins Richard and Red as financial managers in the Brotherhood of Yellow, where they acquired a lot of stocks and bonds. "

Admiral Li Miaowu sighed: "In this war, half of the cities of Mars have been destroyed. The wealth of the Martian nobles has been greatly lost, and your power has also suffered greatly. "

Cuthbert sighed and said, "Alas, that's right, in fact, I don't think we should control the solar system, we don't have that strength, let alone the confidence and law. By what name do we rule? by our money...... Oh, don't you have to rely on the arbitration committee in the end? The patriarchs are so obsessed with taking wealth and power into their own hands. "

Puzzled, Casto asked, "Why don't they go to the arbitration committee themselves?".

Cuthbert replied, "They feel more comfortable planning behind the scenes, and they feel more elegant and comfortable with it." Hmph, in fact, they are not adapted to the specific political struggle and administration. Stupid! Power that is not directly controlled will inevitably eat itself, don't they understand?".

Admiral Li Miaowu sighed and said: "Alas, if the name is not right, it is not good, of course, behind-the-scenes planning can do a lot of unsavory things, but politics must always see the light." No matter how powerful there is behind the scenes, sometimes it is impossible to crack the conspiracy under the control of political power. Just like this time, they finally knew that the 'Brotherhood in Yellow', which they had been running for a long time, was a trap designed by the arbitration committee. But they didn't dare to poke it out directly, so they could only call in foreign aid. As a result, alas, a mess!".

Casto suddenly understood something, and he asked: "The trap? That is to say, the high-level members of the arbitration committee created the 'Brotherhood in Yellow' for the purpose of cultivating the will of the soldiers at all, but to deal with the Martian nobles, and to solve the Martian nobles reasonably and legally in the end?

Cuthbert replied, "Yes, the Martian aristocracy later discovered that the 'Hearts Voice' was actually affiliated with the Arbitration Committee, and that the 'Yellow Brotherhood' was originally set up to corrupt the nobles. There have always been 'Xinyin factions' who distort their teachings and guide their religious behavior. The Martian nobles were afraid that they would become pawns of the arbitration committee, so they used the people in the 'Brotherhood of Yellow' who listened to their orders to contact the Shenyin faction to settle on Mars. It is hoped that the military power of the Pluto Rover will bring the arbitration committee to its knees, and by the way, annihilate the only armed force of the 'Voices of the Heart' on Mars. Outcome...... As you can see, the situation is out of control. "

Castor's pupils trembled uncontrollably in shock when he heard this, and then he forcibly calmed down and asked, "But you just said that the 'Brotherhood in Yellow' is controlled by the 'Heart Sound Sect'...... Could it be that it was the 'Heart's Voice Faction' who lured the Martian nobles into contacting the rovers to attack Mars?".

Uncle Cuthbert replied, "Yes, the 'Hearts and Voices' are controlled by the Arbitration Committee, and they have set up this bureau. Some of the followers of the 'Shenyin Sect' have privately converted to the 'Xinyin Sect', but most of the Martian nobles don't know about it, so they jump into the pit. I, as the firefighter armed high-ranking officer, didn't know about the Arbitration Committee's trick, or if Lucan told us. "

"Did our family participate in the Battle of Mars?"

"Our people didn't dare to participate, but most of the Martian family did. Patriarch Lucan thought that their plan was too ill-conceived and too variable. I think that's why he's been hiding the truth from us. It's ridiculous that they couldn't even command their own family's firefighter officers to join the rebellion, and had to rely on the 'Yellow Brotherhood'. Well, now they're going to be served in a pot. And Lucan can't hide it now, so he has to confess to us. "

"Then why didn't Patriarch Lucan betray these people at that time, these Martian nobles are so stupid!".

"Betrayal of the family alliance? The Martian family is so closely connected, so many in-laws, betrayal is betrayal? What if this betrayal is discovered? Do we still have a foothold on Mars? Don't be stupid, Casto, what do you think humanity has maintained this family community of interests for thousands of years? In order to follow some classical tradition? No! It is because humanity has not yet found a more reliable way to work closely together. Humanity is still unable to trust each other, and can only be bound together by the primitive and strong way of blood. "

"However, blood ties are not effective, and so many fratricidal court battles in ancient and modern times do not show this? "

Uncle Cuthbert asked, "Has your Sonia opened up to you?" and Casto was silent when he heard this.

"Don't say that, that girl is just a pawn. But I advise you not to touch her again. At present, the relationship between the arbitration committee and the 'Xinyin faction' is also a bit delicate. The intelligence network of the 'Xinyin faction' is too complex, and its power may be greater than we think. "

"And which side do you two belong to?" Casto asked warily.

Hearing Castor's words, Li Xunwu and Cuthbert exchanged glances, and then led the topic to a darker reality.
