Realm of Power

The huge Milky Way formed by billions of stars lies in the night sky, like a huge mural, full of eternal beauty and mysterious unknowns. Fatty knows that in his own era, mankind has begun to take the step towards the stars. The pace of exploration, and in this era, because there is no air pollution Shrouded in the sky, the starry eyes he saw were more like things filled with a mysterious dream. The fat man withdrew his gaze from the starry sky above his head and looked at an official of the Imperial Intelligence Department who was standing with a serious expression. He snorted "Teacher." Has the identity background of the young man submitted by Tuan Guo been investigated? "

The imperial intelligence officer lowered his head, handed over the report with both hands and said respectfully, "It is basically certain that this person is named Kurast on the list, and his position is the assistant to Eero's special envoy. His true identity should be the person who had an affair with the Aden people between Eero and Aden last year. During the battle for the Cornelia Port, His Royal Highness Prince Nikatek, who shone brightly because he led the Ero army's raid on the Adenian Oasis, the drawings sent by the Order State also show that the appearance of the two is almost exactly the same. Consistent"

"So, what the Order State said is true? The Imperial Intelligence Department doesn't even know who is in charge of the special envoy. It's really embarrassing to tell it." The fat man looked angry and turned over The report was sent up, and his face was a little gloomy. I wonder if the empire has not been in the Obaro area for more than half a year. Due to the war, the Intelligence Department, which was supposed to be the eye of the empire, was slow to respond, bloated, and overstaffed. Even the identity of Special Envoy Eero was not clear this time. If it had been during the war, he might not have been one. It's as simple as a mistaken identity, but it's a big problem that even the enemy commander can't figure out.

"Your Majesty, it is my subordinates who are incompetent!" The official from the Intelligence Department knelt down with a pale face and said in a solemn voice, "Perhaps you are right. Although he is known as the Imperial Intelligence Department, he is still essentially the same person who stabbed him back then. It may be okay internally, but it seems quite weak when it comes to the internal core of the countries. "The fat man's face softened a little. Some, the problem of the Imperial Intelligence Department is already a very serious problem. Fortunately, the Imperial Army has adopted the staff headquarters system for operations. The corps-level command groups are mainly responsible for the staff headquarters, and combat preparations and combat intelligence are also integrated by the staff headquarters. , which was reduced because it did not rely much on the information provided by the Ministry of Intelligence. "Combat errors caused by insufficient intelligence," His Majesty said. His subordinates also believed that it was time for the Intelligence Department to be reformed. "The Intelligence Department official sighed with pain on his face." It's not that our Intelligence Department didn't work hard, but the initial failure of the Imperial Intelligence Department The composition was developed on the basis of the backstab, which, during the Ikadiva era, served as The local forces' backstabs are quite qualified in terms of intelligence. However, with the rapid expansion of the empire, 80% of the territory is currently in the Obaro region, and the backstabs' intelligence capabilities are no longer able to touch the core content. Although they have been in recent years, They also successively absorbed part of the intelligence network in the Obaro region, but their performance was only unsatisfactory."

The official of the Intelligence Department hesitated for a moment. "After all, the empire's rule in Obarro has only been a few years. In terms of intelligence network, it is completely unable to compete with the intelligence network developed by the Obarro countries for hundreds of years, especially when it comes to intelligence work. The scope is so large that it requires a thorough knowledge of the history and culture of each country. Information about various figures says that there are more than 100,000 people. It's not an exaggeration, famous and unknown, personnel at all levels from the military to government affairs, from the central to local governments... Such a huge and detailed database is simply overwhelming to the Imperial Intelligence Department, which has only been in Oparo for a few years. Just a blur of eyes, whether it is the military or other departments, there have been more and more complaints about the ineffectiveness of the Imperial Intelligence Department."

"What's your opinion?" The fat man waved his hand. Since the Intelligence Department has seen the core of the problem, it should have prepared countermeasures. He also wants to know what the Intelligence Department's proposal is.

"At the annual meeting of the Ministry of Intelligence, someone once suggested that if you know the history of Oparo, and the internal affairs of various countries, it is not that it is not the case in the empire, but..." the official of the Ministry of Intelligence stopped talking, He looked like he was hesitant to speak. "Go on, I also want to hear, is there such a thing in the empire?" The fat man tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically, and his eyes flashed. Guangming, in the past two years, he has increasingly felt that just relying on the old foundation in Ikadiva is no longer able to adapt to the current needs of the empire, because the empire is no longer in terms of territory, population, or opponents. Xanadu has far surpassed the original Ikadiva era, and wants to rule such a vast area and dominate the entire Obaro region as the overlord. It is necessary to show the magnanimity and magnanimity that a continental overlord should have. From the faces of the intelligence officials, it can be clearly seen that the candidates in the other party's mouth may have been enemies of the empire or were jealous of the empire." The subordinates believed that, The empire's current intelligence work is no longer within the empire but for the entire continent of Oparo. In this case, there must be someone who can The leader who understands and controls the entire continent of Oparo. His subordinates believe that this ability is no greater than that of the Tulit family, known as the Shadow of Oparo. "The intelligence officer's face turned pale, as if he had held back his breath. Spit out all the thoughts in your mind. "Are you talking about absorbing the Turrit family into the Imperial Intelligence Department?" The fat man stopped tapping his fingers on the table, his eyes as sharp as knives. Generally, it falls on the officials of the Intelligence Department." His subordinates believed that the only way to completely improve the work of the Imperial Intelligence Department was this. "The officials of the Intelligence Department did not dare to look at the emperor's cold face, and said, his cheeks were covered with sweat. , under the emperor's fearful gaze, he felt as if he was sitting on a crater that could erupt at any time. "How much did you charge Turrit Colleen?" Forget it, let this be the case, let me just say, it’s just a negotiation with Eero’s special envoy, why did Turrit Colin come to negotiate in person! “A few seconds later, the emperor’s voice sounded” “Don’t you dare?” It is impossible to accept money from Her Royal Highness the Princess. Her Highness the Princess indeed mentioned this matter, and her subordinates thought it was feasible, so... "The intelligence department official's face turned pale, and he was smiling slightly. "Slightly trembling" Forget it, this is not a bad thing. The Turrit family always thinks that once it loses its use value, the empire will eradicate it mercilessly. It is really inexplicable logic. It is better to put the root of the disease under the eyes of the empire, so that the empire can rest assured and the Turrit family can rest assured! "The fat man glanced at the corner of his mouth and said casually. Turning the report to the last page, he blinked and saw a portrait for the last time. A young man wearing a Hérault military uniform. His slender and well-proportioned body exuded a sense of elegance and strength, and he had dazzling golden hair. When it reaches the shoulders, it looks like a lion's mane. It has a heroic appearance and a youthful energy, as if it is the favor of the goddess of creation. However, in his angelic ice-blue eyes, there is a sharp gaze that makes people dare not look directly at him.

"Is this Prince Nikitek? He looks good. Did he get beaten this time?" The fat man pointed at the portrait and looked up at the intelligence officials.

"Yes, he is Nikatek, the nephew of Emperor Eero." The intelligence officer felt much more relaxed and answered more smoothly. "In compliance with the regulations of the Eero royal family, he entered the military service at the age of fifteen. He originally had a good reputation. It’s not obvious, but I don’t know why, but in last year’s war when the Erro Empire attacked Cornelia, it showed a staggering effect. The ability to raid, especially the time when he crossed the dead line of the Grand Oasis and raided the back of the Aden army, led to the rout of 300,000 people in the Aden army. Just last year, after the war with the Kingdom of Aden, he was personally promoted to the rank of Aden by Emperor Ero for his outstanding performance. The commander of the 19th Romanian Legion, he is the youngest member of the royal family to be promoted to general in the history of the Romanian army."

The imperial intelligence officer's voice paused, and he continued with a strange look on his face. "He did not live with the special envoy, but was out alone. According to the reports in the past few days, he had contacted three arms dealers in Lisbonto and signed a contract." signed a contract for the sale of approximately 20,000 sets of ordnance.”

"In a few days, we completed the contract for 20,000 sets of ordnance... Interesting little guy!"

The fat man showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes. "Being able to jump out of the empire's ill-intentioned arrangements was truly worthy of Emperor Eero's decision to personally cast a beam in the direction of Lisbon at a critical moment when the country was in danger, especially in the context of the previous suicide of Eero's special envoy." "It's a secret, but if the other party wants to get away with it so easily, it would be too much of a joke on the empire." The fat man pressed the portrait on the table. On the table, Leng said, "In reply to the Order State, since the other party does not live in the area designated by the Empire, then the Empire does not need to be responsible for his life and death. We don't know anything anyway. Lisbonto's security has always been a problem." It’s a headache, so the place where the special envoy is stationed must be safe enough so that no one can get in, do you understand?”

"Yes, I understand!"

A knowing smile appeared on the face of the intelligence officer. His Majesty the Emperor's attitude has been made clear, and the entire special envoy's residence has been sealed off. This means that once the restless prince is in danger, it will be difficult to return to the residence to escape. If he returns, Without the special envoy, the Order State still has some influence in Lisbon. It is not difficult to use some people to get rid of this prince. On the contrary, due to the bad relationship between the Ero Empire and the empire some time ago, it is a suppressed area in Lisbon. Most forces are avoiding it. Since His Highness the Prince is so smart, , then you must be responsible for your own smart behavior

In fact, the Imperial Intelligence Department is quite dissatisfied with the behavior of the Prince of the Ero Empire. If the Order State had not caught this person, I am afraid that the other party secretly completed all the arms transactions and returned, and the Imperial Intelligence Department would not have known about it. , or continue to keep an eye on the Erro Empire's special envoys, they will inevitably become the laughing stock of the entire Obaro Intelligence Department. So the Order State recognized the prince, and even though the Ministry of Intelligence knew that they would be scolded, they still reported the Order State's plan to get rid of the prince to the emperor. After all, this is the empire's territory, in the imperial commercial center. Lisbonto killed a royal member of the Ero Empire. If the Order State did not want to break up with the Empire, necessary ventilation was still needed.

Erote Mission Residence

The Ero Empire's special envoy Frete didn't know that the plan had been exposed. He showed everyone the report he had just received from the Order State on purchasing imperial weapons at twice the price, and looked at a dozen people with a stern expression. The silent member said in a cold voice, "You've all seen it, what else can you say? If you want to use that evidence to suppress the empire, this is the result. We lowered the price here, but it was the Order State that got the advantage. They Even if we offer twice the price, it is still much lower than the outside price. These weapons sold to the Order State will eventually appear on the battlefield of Eero and become the butcher knife that slaughters our soldiers and people, so we are more We need to calm down and don’t get distracted by the empire’s conspiracy. Even if we didn’t bring back the last weapon, at least we didn’t let the Order State take it back! ""Sir, we were reckless."

Thinking that the evidence in their hands would only allow the Order State to purchase more and cheaper weapons to attack the motherland, the members of the Erot mission were silent, with chills running down their backs. The enemy was too despicable, and Erot's country was in urgent need of weapons. , the royal capital is trapped, and the unaffected areas in the south of Aero have begun mobilization. According to Aero's mobilization ability, the reserve force of two to three hundred thousand can still be scraped together. The siege of the royal capital is not unsolvable, but weapons Lack is a fatal wound. Without weapons, we can't let Ero soldiers fight the brutal Order State with wooden sticks. The despicable Order State here jumped out to disrupt the situation and made it clear that they wanted to give them a weapon. "I can't even take it back." Judging from the current situation, it is already difficult to buy ordnance from formal negotiations. I can only hope that His Highness the Prince can gain something." Frater took a deep breath, and his eyes flashed with a trace of difficulty. perceived complexity

"His Royal Highness the Prince sent back news this morning that he has signed contracts with three arms dealers, and about 20,000 sets of ordnance will be shipped from Lisbon within three days." One of the members was a young man with a stern look. , wearing a dark brown hunting suit, looking quite heroic. He is Diack, the military attache accompanying the special envoy, and also the chief of guard of His Royal Highness.

"Twenty thousand sets of ordnance..."

"How your Royal Highness did it is really unbelievable."

“Really exciting news”

The members of the special envoy let out a low exclamation, and everyone had excitement on their faces. No one expected that the prince who was not favored would have such a big withdrawal. The target this time was probably set at 100,000 sets. time, and now one-fifth of it has been completed. Just thinking about the progress here, everyone can't help but feel a touch of shame on their faces. They felt very unnatural when Prince Nikatek joined the special envoy under a false name, and this The prince is a soldier A tough general can't play a big role in negotiating transactions, but what Emperor Hero means is that Prince Nikitek does not accompany the special envoy, but works with the special envoy overtly and covertly, so he can I can see that the emperor has already anticipated the disruption in the Order Country. He is really far-sighted.” This is indeed good news! “I don’t know why, but there is no joy on Fred’s face, which should be the most happy. A hint of sadness

The sunlight outside the window was very good. Wisps of light came in through the screen window and fell on the golden teak floor, reflecting faint haloes. In the courtyard outside, many sparrows stayed boldly in the open space and played as if no one else was around. Everything is still so calm. Not many people know that an undercurrent is flowing in Lisbon.

"Tonight should be very exciting. Not only the suicide of an Eero envoy, but also the death of a Prince Eero. In order for the empire to finally agree to supply ordnance at a low price, Emperor Eero also spent a lot of money this time. "On the balcony of a villa, someone stretched his waist lazily and stood on the balcony looking at the blue-colored sea surface of Lisbon with the waves in the distance.

"I don't understand what your Majesty means. Isn't the person who wants to kill Prince Aero a member of the Order State? What does it have to do with Emperor Aero?" Sokutus Stellan was wearing a black dress that reached her waist, and she was stunningly beautiful. Accompanied by a graceful and poetic grace, the whole body exudes the charm of a mature woman. The beautiful eyebrows are swept over the bright eyes, and Shengyan looks more three-dimensional. The high bun is tied with an emerald green hairpin, and a dignified and gorgeous beauty in plain clothes stands upright.

"You have seen the portrait of that prince. Can you tell me how he could have been hidden from the eyes of the Order with his appearance that attracts everyone's attention wherever he goes? Emperor Aero also let him act alone. If he didn't want him dead, what could he do?" The fat man laughed. He suddenly realized the dog-eat-dog situation in Aero after the intelligence officials left. He didn't know how this prince offended Emperor Aero and was sent as a sacrifice. An Aero envoy committed suicide before. If another Prince Aero died in Lisbon, coupled with the so-called evidence in Aero's hands, if the Empire didn't want to bear the blame for murder, it would have to agree to supply weapons to the Aero Empire at a low price. "I heard that Emperor Ero vomited blood and fell to the ground after his last defeat, and he has been ill ever since. The eldest prince of Emperor Ero doesn't seem to be that good..." Sokutusdalan's pretty face showed a trance. "If you say so, then it is basically certain that Emperor Ero wants to kill with a borrowed knife this time, using the knife of the Order to kill the rivals in the royal family who are competitive for the throne and pave the way for his son." The fat man retracted his gaze from a distance, frowned and took a deep breath. The fact that Emperor Ero vomited blood and fell to the ground was known to everyone in Obaro. The political situation in Ero was turbulent. If it weren't for the army of the Order pressing in and forcing Ero to unite, I'm afraid it would have been a mess long ago. 8)
