Him and their stars

Let us ignore for the time being what kind of magic the imperial prime minister cast in order to carry out massive construction and improve welfare benefits while maintaining financial balance.

However, what Yu Lian can be sure of is that while the prime minister was building a large-scale construction, he did deal with a considerable number of replaced battleships to "allies". This is actually not in line with the imperial military's consistent style of Scoia'tael.

This group of Tirello nobles who rule half of the galaxy probably know that they have done a lot of messy things, so they have always been suspected of being persecuted and paranoid. They always feel that one day they will face the enemy of the whole world. then. Even if new ships are put into service, the replaced warships will be sealed up. When a war actually breaks out, a new huge fleet can be immediately expanded.

Anyway, the empire's shipbuilding technology is said to be the best in the galaxy. Even the old ships that have been eliminated are still huge ships that are difficult to compete with for other countries.

However, after Prime Minister Valpolis took office, he was keen to cash in the "pine cones used by the Scoia'tael for the winter".

Think of the dreadnought in the hands of Cathay and Bakvi. This already explains a lot of problems.

In short, for the imperial military nobles who control the Privy Council, Prime Minister Valpolis relies on poaching the imperial army to please the people, and uses beautiful financial statements to please the emperor and parliament. At the same time, they also penetrated their most important military power.

If Emperor Elansel was not the biggest supporter behind the Prime Minister, I am afraid that there would really be stupid young nobles who would go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to carry out divine punishment. "

The Duke of Eski, one of the Privy Councilors at the time, scolded the Prime Minister of Valpolis to his face, saying that he was "using the welfare of the glorious Imperial Army soldiers to bribe the untouchables." However, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly appeared and caught him. With.

His Majesty ordered the treacherous duke to hand over the seal and coat of arms of the Privy Councilor. Duke Aiskei, who had been the emperor's military attache, could not accept such a shame and humiliation, so he was killed on the spot at the gate of Longlin Palace.

However, Emperor Elansel just asked the Duke's family to collect the body expressionlessly, and told them that according to the conventions of the Empire's heraldry law, the royal family would confiscate half of the territory of the Duke of Eskei family, and at the same time, the title would be downgraded.

Indeed, according to the imperial heraldry law, princes without meritorious service will have their titles downgraded and their territories halved.

His Majesty the Emperor seems to have acquiesced that Duke Eskei, who has served as his own military attache, as an imperial general, and as a minister of the Privy Council, has "nothing to contribute to the empire." He was using this inhumane to cruel way to convey his support for the prime minister.

In his later years, Emperor Elansel, although he had been in seclusion all year round to meditate on the "Great Way" and spent at least ten months a year in the secret room, which already seemed to be a bit neglectful of worldly affairs, he did serve as the governor of Valpolis. The biggest behind-the-scenes supporter of the Prime Minister's reform.

The above incident actually happened the year before last, but it had been blocked by the highest will of the empire. Even most of the senior officials and generals of the empire were unaware of it, and they always thought that Duke Eskai died of a sudden illness.

As for Major General Walter Rall, he was naturally even less informed. Of course, it was hard for him to imagine that the relationship between the Prime Minister's Office and the Privy Council had long been reduced to an overly tight tightrope.

"I went to the Generalissimo's Mansion the day before yesterday to confirm the contents of the military exercise to be held after the God of War Festival. What's interesting is that this time, the main participants in this military exercise are the Imperial Guard and the army of the elected emperor. But the National Defense Force, which accounts for 60% of the empire's total strength, did not appear."

The imperial army is actually divided into the Praetorian Guard, the National Defense Force, the Chosen Emperor's Army, and the Prince's Guard. Of course, except for the elected emperor endorsed by the ancestral family law, the local lords did not have many fleets. At most, they only had a small number of armed merchant ships and anti-theft ships. The main force was the planet's ground defense force.

Theoretically, both the Imperial Guard and the National Defense Force should be unified under the control of the Generalissimo, but this is only the power of military orders. The military and political power of the Imperial Guard is always in the hands of the emperor, but most of the specific affairs are entrusted to the Privy Council. The military and political power of the Wehrmacht is in the hands of the Ministry of Defense, which is the only military power that the Prime Minister's Office has. The real power department.

"I see... If it were normal times, it could be regarded as a balancing act within the military. However, combined with the information you have obtained, it is indeed very imaginative." Major General Lal began to think seriously. .

Seeing that the other party had listened, Yu Lian continued: "The fortress we demolished in the Far Bank Nebula was certainly a great shame and a great humiliation to the entire empire. However, for the prime minister, this was indeed a good way to attack the Privy Council. The timing...because when the city of Kerna was originally built, he strongly opposed it."

"How did you know?" Major General Lal asked curiously.

Yu Lian shrugged and said matter-of-factly: "I am also a psychic after all. Of course I have my own special intelligence channels."

Major General Lal wanted to roll his eyes. However, as a "mortal", he really couldn't say anything to the social circle of psychics.

"...In addition, let's not talk about the two battleships we captured in the far shore nebula, the Unicorn-class battleships. The new heavy cruiser obviously adopted new shipbuilding technology. I also discovered on it The mark of the Feilin Shipyard. The Feilin Design Bureau and the shipyard are a joint industry belonging to several elected emperors, headed by King Bedo. They are responsible for the design, construction and testing of the empire's latest warships. Now, they have spent a lot of money to build The most important weapon of the country has become our trophy, and someone always needs to be responsible. King Bedo is a hawk through and through. He tried his best to promote the construction of Kerna Fortress, but it just gave the prime minister the opportunity to attack the Privy Council. ?"

"King Bedo has not been expelled from the Privy Council." Major General Lal said.

"If the Privy Council lacked an elected emperor, it would have attracted the attention of other countries. However, have you noticed that King Bedo, who always likes to be in the limelight, seems to have been too low-key in the past six months."

Major General Walter Rall carefully recalled it and sighed: "I heard that the old guy's grandson was born, so I became addicted to playing with the grandson... Heh, when you say that, it's quite unreasonable. It’s like we found a step for ourselves. Now look at it, we were really too careless!”

In fact, it was not that Major General Lal was too careless. But they only had this little intelligence power in the empire, so they had no choice but to seize the big ones and let them go.

"So, this Prime Minister is probably more ambitious than we thought!"

"Yes, it is very possible... He is not just considering being a strong prime minister who can overwhelm the Privy Council, but is trying to carry out national reforms to the imperial army!"

Major General Lal had already guessed this, but he looked embarrassed, even a little embarrassed: "But even so, you know that our intelligence power here is, well, a bit hard to describe, and it is impossible to provide you with anything. Help. What's more, now it's just speculation, not evidence. What's more..."

What's more, even if there is solid evidence, given the behavior of the big shots above, they wouldn't dare to make any move, right?

You can't walk alone, right? Is it really true that the community has become harmonious? Now the only ones who can show peace and dare to show peace are Yu Lian and his friends. Most of the officers in the community are still very disciplined.

"So, I just said, do something...but that doesn't mean you have to do it yourself." Yu Lian showed a wicked smile, which made Major General Lal almost tremble.

Major General Lal said: "So... what exactly do you want to do?"

"Of course it will make the empire more lively. What's the point of always letting Prime Minister Valpolis fight against the Gongun princes of the Privy Council?" Yu Lian lowered his voice: "Last time, um, because of a special incident By chance, I got to know Miss Amida Senge Berenkeste, and we chatted and laughed and hit it off."

Of course, it was impossible for Major General Lal not to recognize this name, and he immediately showed a suspicious look.

That's the majestic "Princess of the Alliance", a figure on the clouds! Hmm, I can also say that I often play bridge with Emperor Elansir.

Yu Lian saw the other person's thoughts and directly called up the photo with Yani, which was the photo taken after finishing the Emerald Maze last time. Of course there were many people in the photo, but he and the "Princess of the Alliance" stood in the most obvious C position, very close to each other, beyond the normal social distance, but they both smiled brightly.

Major General Lal looked at Yu Lian with a stern face, feeling that he had been slapped in the face by Versailles. If he hadn't been beaten by Versailles, he would have wanted to punch the opponent in the face with a fist as big as a sandbag.

"Who told you to look at this? This way, this way." Yu Lian pointed to the edge of the photo.

Major General Watt Rall soon saw the figures of two alien women standing on the edge of the group of people taking photos. Tall figure, blue skin, silver hair...

"Ancient, ancient Meiya people!"

"And he is a young and promising genius psychic."

The general looked carefully at the faces of the two people again, and finally let out a meaningful sigh: "Oh...it turns out to be Miss Amiya and Miss Agnes!"

You actually know me! Was he targeted when he first arrived in Tianyu? Don't you want to do something?

...Okay, in fact, it should be that you don’t dare to do it, and you don’t have the ability to do it, right?

"Look what you said. That is the God of War Festival, and everyone is celebrating it! His Majesty the Emperor is so graceful that even life-and-death enemies like the ancient Meiya people have forgiven them and allowed them to participate in such a sacred event. Naturally, they are very popular. I I also placed ten bets on them, hoping to earn some pocket money, hehehehehe... You know, the prices in Tianyu are so high, and I, a military attache with no luck, am also very poor."

Yu Lian thought, I believe it.

Major General Lal stared closely at the faces of the two ancient Meiya women, and then looked at Amida Senge Berenkeist who smiled warmly and dignifiedly. He seemed to have thought about it for a long time, and then seemed to just think about it for a few seconds, and then suddenly held Yu Lian's hands.

His palms were fat and thick, but not greasy at all.

"It's impossible that the Alliance doesn't know your identity, but it still allows you to see them. It must be conveying some information."

"I understand."

"Can you take it out?"

"Ninety-nine percent sure." The reason why I don't say 100 percent is because people probably won't believe me if I say it.

"So...I haven't actually seen this photo today."

"Hmm! Never seen it."

"I don't remember talking to you about anything."

"Yeah! Never talked about it."

"Young people like to socialize. It is very reasonable for them to be dazzled when they come to the imperial capital for the first time and often go out to visit friends, right?"

"Yeah! Very reasonable."

"Ah ha ha ha! From now on, you don't have to report to the military attache's office every day. You can move around freely every day. Except for the Ambassador, just remember to report to me once a week. That's all."

Major General Lal's hand suddenly became heavier, and then he once again smiled as warmly and kindly as Santa Claus,
