Good guy, the old emperor almost died in his sleep.
Yang Ming couldn't describe what it felt like to control the life and death of the emperor of a country.
Probably... there is a very subtle sense of accomplishment.
Princess Dana and her personal maid spent several days, racked their brains, and suffered twists and turns. In the current chaotic situation, they finally found the replaceable parts of the old emperor's omnic, and worked hard to open the old emperor's true son.
The brain was replaced and I entered the boot command with excitement.
Then, nothing happened.
The old emperor continued to be unconscious, but kept breathing slowly.
Princess Dana was unwilling to give in and tried several times in a row, even slapping the old emperor on the head hard... The old emperor still had no reaction.
The maid was a robotics engineer, but she was also at a loss to solve the old emperor's problems.
Princess Diana had no choice but to report truthfully to her superiors and asked the maintenance team to come for support.
However, the maid reminded Dana that if they did it too obviously, the old emperor's omnic status would be easily exposed, which would be a huge scandal in the Sherman Empire, and the two of them would definitely become members of the Sherman Empire's Council of Elders.
Abandoned son.
Rather than letting the "hometown team" come to repair the old emperor at such a sensitive moment, it would be better to just let the old emperor die, which is the safest option for them.
Princess Diana could only feel anxious secretly.
She doesn't understand.
The system of this emperor robot is intact. The self-test results and compatibility test results of all parts of the body are correct. The system even shows that it has been successfully started, but why can't it wake up?
Is this also a manifestation of the old emperor's "rebellious period"?
As time went by, the pressure brought by Princess Dana's blockade of the emperor's palace increased. The three princes and ministers realized that things were not normal and kept asking to see the old emperor.
Princess Diana's emotions collapsed several times.
On the eighth day after the New Federation launched an electronic warfare attack, Princess Dana had a dispute with the maid. The two finally decided that if the old emperor could not wake up tomorrow, they would seek help from the superiors of the Sherman Empire.
All this was relayed to Yang Ming in a timely manner by Lu.
"Boss," Lu reminded, "we can completely let the old emperor die directly and put all the blame on the New Federation. The opportunity now is very good. Edwan's reputation among the people has increased after several post-disaster TV speeches.
Soaring rapidly."
After Yang Ming thought carefully, he rejected this tempting proposal.
"Now that Edwan is in power, the Luofeng Empire is likely to fall apart. Although the eldest prince and the third prince are in decline, they can easily become pawns of the New Federation or the Sherman Empire.
"Now Luofeng has completely opposed the New Federation. Without Sherman's help, it will be even more difficult to gain a foothold.
"Advan has not yet received the full support of the Sherman Empire, so it is too early to directly ascend the throne."
Yang Ming added:
"The old emperor said he wanted to give me the title and I haven't given it to him yet. I can't let him just go like this."
Lu Que said: "If this opportunity is missed, there may be more uncontrollable factors on the old emperor's side."
"Why?"
"Boss, this intelligent machine has a self-learning function."
Lu said softly:
"Its thinking body is complex enough, and I have spent a lot of extra computing power just to put it to sleep.
"When it wakes up successfully, it will definitely make up for its shortcomings and upgrade its components. If we want to control it later, it will definitely not be as easy as it is now."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "But it can still be controlled, right?"
"I have this confidence," Ritsu also laughed, "Boss, you have been sullen these days, but now you finally have a smile. This makes Ritsu breathe a sigh of relief."
Yang Ming shrugged: "So many people have died in this city, and I stay at the headquarters every day. It would be too shameful to smile playfully."
Law has no such concerns.
She seemed to have thought of something happy and was laughing non-stop.
Although the Luofeng Empire has been having a hard time recently, Lu and Kolev...
Made a lot of money!
After the attack, the entire country's capital fled frantically.
Because laying off employees involves huge costs, and coupled with the desperate pressure from Luofeng officials, those capitalists are eager to give away their factories and production lines for zero yuan.
——Although the actual transfer price is not really "breaking".
In just over a week, due to Lu's illegal operations, Yang Ming already had a solid asset base.
The Molly Miss Group already has six former foreign-funded companies, all of which have ready-made assembly lines acquired at very low prices. They are involved in the physical fields of suspension vehicle engines, semi-automatic robots for engineering, stereoscopic projection and holographic projection devices, etc. The factories are all over Yinlanduo Star.
with the second administrative star.
At Yang Ming's request, these factories have maintained stable production and have not carried out any layoffs.
Although they are raking in the national treasure that is in dire straits.
But I tried my best not to add insult to injury to the Luofeng Empire.
Kolev continued to work hard in the chemical industry, with Youlu operating behind the scenes. The old man only had to happily sign, chat, and conduct on-site inspections, and he accomplished the feat of doubling his net worth.
The assets they bought at the bottom are still full of uncertainty; if the situation in Luofeng Empire continues to deteriorate, they will probably lose everything.
This also gave Yang Ming more motivation to help the Luofeng Empire get out of its current predicament.
He maintains a high fighting spirit every day. During the day, he goes to the headquarters to drink coffee and watch surveillance cameras. At night, he hugs Miss Windsor and laments the impermanence of life.
The tenth day after the all-channel jamming occurred.
The old emperor of the empire finally woke up and immediately delivered a brief televised speech.
This old omnic is really angry.
After all, my brain was burned.
He strongly condemned the terrorist attacks carried out by the New Federation and asked all citizens to unite as one and overcome the current difficulties together.
After learning that the old emperor had woken up, Edwang, who had not had much rest for several days, entered the palace immediately and reported all the ongoing affairs.
The old emperor did not stop Edwang's plan, but expressed dissatisfaction with Edwang's unauthorized large-scale use of royal assets, and reprimanded Edwang's risky behavior in front of the ministers.
Despite the scolding, the old emperor still used his own health as an excuse to hand over the post-disaster reconstruction work to Edwang. The restoration project of the Luofeng Empire and Edwang's "royal cover" plan were not affected in any way.
.
What surprised Yang Ming the most was that the old emperor actually increased the capital injection into his own country.
"Low-end omnics have no idea about money."
Law commented this way.
Fifteen days after the attack.
This super-large city has finally returned to normal operations. Although the network signal is always interrupted and the network speed has slowed down a lot, it can already meet the needs of residents for normal life.
The twentieth day after the attack.
A monument engraved with the list of victims stands in the Memorial Park in the central area of Yinlanduo City.
In the following days, countless people went to mourn on their own initiative, and the place became very crowded every day.
Edwan stood in front of the monument and delivered a far-reaching post-disaster speech. He used this speech as a turning point to start a public counterattack against the New Federation.
But Luofeng Empire can only engage in public opinion counterattack at present.
The country's military power is in pieces, and it is extremely difficult to conduct an exercise in front of the New Federation Fleet.
What is interesting is that the second prince Edwang is encouraging the people, stabilizing people's hearts, restoring communication infrastructure, and perfectly arranging political resources except the fifth administrative star.
However, the old emperor began to frequently summon the eldest prince and the third prince to the palace for meetings to discuss steps to regain military power.
Probably, facing the second prince whose reputation was rising steadily, the old emperor also had omnics.
A little sense of crisis.
Yang Ming is not worried about this.
Lu told him that the old emperor had begun to consider the issue of making Edwang the crown prince.
Twenty-five days after the attack.
The case of the Fallen Empire suing the New Federation for launching a terrorist attack was publicly heard in the Interstellar Tribunal.
The New Federation refused to send anyone to attend and denied all accusations without evidence.
The case ended without any resolution, and the Human Rights Council announced long-term humanitarian assistance to the people of the Fallen Empire.
At the same time, Edwin set off for the Sherman Empire for a three-day visit, requesting all-round assistance from the Sherman Empire.
Thirty days after the attack.
Adwang returned with a full load.
The Sherman Empire provided supplies worth tens of billions of imperial coins, as well as the policy of exempting the Luofeng Empire from annual silver for the next five years.
Although compared to the economic blow suffered by Luofeng Empire, these supplies are really insignificant.
However, the elimination of five-year silver has indeed given Luofeng Empire a big sigh of relief and has re-boosted the outside world's investment confidence in Luofeng Empire.
The protection fee is too much.
The outside world generally believes that the Luofeng Empire has created a miracle of some magnitude within this month.
A month ago, the New Federation's special ships launched an attack, which paralyzed Yinlanduo City, which accounted for half of the Luofeng Empire's economy. Tens of thousands of people were killed and injured, capital fled frantically, and undercurrents surged everywhere.
Everyone thinks that this country will quickly go bankrupt.
Talents, wealthy businessmen, and high-level technicians who could go abroad almost all left the country in the shortest possible time.
But to everyone's surprise, the second prince stood up decisively.
A large amount of funds belonging to the royal family returned to Luofeng, directly acquiring various enterprises related to energy, people's livelihood, and manufacturing. The State-owned Assets Committee was quickly established, and the royal family indirectly became the largest controlling party of a large number of entity enterprises.
The exchange rate of the Luofeng currency against the New Federal currency only fell by less than 35%, and is now on an upward trend.
Even those well-informed gossip magazines can't tell you how much wealth the Luofeng Empire's royal family has.
In this regard, Yang Ming has only one comment:
"***imperial power."
Thirty-three days after the attack.
The first star of the Luofeng Empire held a lively investiture ceremony, hosted by three princes at the same time, conferring Luofeng Empire titles on more than a hundred people.
Among them, 25 military personnel were awarded honors, and the one who received the most attention was undoubtedly the first-class Viscount Yang Ming.
Even though the title of the Luofeng Empire was not valuable, the fact that he was only one step away from the earl at the beginning also showed that the royal family valued this heroic officer.
On the same day, the New Federation's fleet withdrew from the outer reaches of the Luofeng Empire. The Sherman Empire announced to the outside world that they had won an overwhelming victory against the New Federation, and then also jumped away.
It seems that the new federation has lost interest in the Luofeng Empire because it has been unable to seduce him.
But Yang Ming is convinced that the "Hypocritical Federation" never gives up until it achieves its goals, and these bastards may create more troubles in the future.
He needs time.
It will take at least one to two years for Luo Lu to come up with some "technical patents" and help Luo Feng complete a small upgrade of military technology while building a business map.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is a truth that will never change.
…
Ding!
The crisp sound echoed through the empty floors.
First Viscount Yang Ming and Prince Edwang clinked their goblets, and then Edwang continued to fiddle with the barbecue tongs in front of him.
This unhealthy, primitive method of cooking food through the combustion of substances to produce unstable temperatures is actually a novelty for Edwan.
Yang Ming turned to look at the far corner, where Kolev was video chatting with a beautiful old lady.
This old guy is regarded as a model businessman, and he got the title of baron without spending any money.
, making Yang Ming faintly unconvinced.
He, the Viscount, had to pay for his life by beating him to death!
Kolev socializes there every day!
"Ming, do you have any ideas? I still want to take revenge on the New Federation."
Edwang asked enthusiastically:
"You are right. This country was already on the verge of collapse. If the terrorist attack failed to knock us down, then our situation will not be worse than before the attack.
"On the contrary, although many rich people have fled, the people's cohesion and sense of identity with the country have been greatly improved.
"I am now full of confidence in the future."
Yang Ming looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows in front of him.
The bustling city outside seemed to be free of scars and illnesses.
"I can only give you a general suggestion," Yang Ming said with a smile. "Instead of spreading it across the board and making the New Federation empire feel slightly itchy, it is better to clench it into a fist and hit the New Federation in a certain industry."
Edwan raised his eyebrows.
"However, Adwang," Yang Ming put down the goblet, "the strength of the New Federation is based on development on a thousand-year scale, you'd better be patient."
"Ming, have you read "The Legend of the Emperor"? Levi Sherman's Legend of the Emperor."
"Hmm, I understand a little bit."
Edwan smiled and said: "That is called a miracle. Just tens of thousands of years ago, the level of technological development at that time was actually similar to today's, and the political form was also similar. Levi Sherman rose rapidly on a planet. , relying on a large number of innovative technologies, it became the master of several planets within a few years, became the overlord of one party within a dozen years, and created the miracle of the Imperial Star that no one can break even now. It is because of this great founding emperor, Sher The Man Empire once had a strong influence on the technological development of the entire galaxy."
Yang Ming smiled slightly.
His "seniors" are really awesome.
"Adwan, are you done with the army?"
"You will soon go to Gudunmaha's tent to be a captain," Edwang said with a smile, "and will be stationed near Yinlanduo Star."
"That's good," Yang Ming said, "later I will find a way to kill a high-ranking military official, let Gudun Mahado control a fleet, and then remove Gudun Maha's subtitle and make him the chief of the general staff of the three armed forces.
.”
Edwang frowned and complained: "You can't say this directly to the second prince of this country. He won't listen to such dark things about seeking power."
"Okay, then I'll do it myself."
"Hey!" Edwang glared at Yang Ming, "At least you should ventilate with me in advance!"
Yang Ming smiled and said nothing.
The two clinked glasses gently.
Edwang couldn't help but said:
"Recently, a group called Miss Molly suddenly popped up. Their sense of smell is extremely keen. They took advantage of the previous month to acquire a large number of high-quality assets at low prices. I was successfully intercepted by them several times.
"After they acquired the company, they did not lay off employees or divert capital away. Instead, they worked hard to maintain production, which was highly praised by the local government.
"I'm afraid this is a long-term plan. If the other party takes the opportunity to develop into our country's manufacturing oligarch, it will become a huge problem that cannot be solved."
Yang Ming moved his butt a little guiltily.
Although he wanted to say something cool:
"Let's get to know each other again, I am the actual controller of Molly Miss."
But what Edwang cares about most is the economy. Yang Ming has now established influence in the military. If he crosses the economic field again, it will easily make Edwang feel pressure.
"I just want to make money to buy resources to support my Dark Star."
Yang Ming muttered in his heart and continued to chat and laugh with Edwang.
Outside the window, the lights of the city no longer seemed so far away, and that long night seemed to have become history.
Yang Ming decided to read the "Emperor's Biography" when he had free time, learn about the glorious deeds of the previous examiner, and study carefully what the so-called Emperor Star Miracle was.
The starry sky outside the window is clear and bright.
