[The local chief executive of the Emperor Star Circle received the edict and began to enter the Emperor Star one after another the next day to report directly to His Majesty the Emperor.]
[His Majesty the Emperor hosted a banquet for major generals and above from the Imperial Military Department.]
[The Council of Elders issued the latest order that nobles with private territories must go to the Emperor Star to report on their duties within half a month. 】
[The person in charge of the scientific research unit of the Imperial Star Star will make adjustments according to his own work progress in the next two months and enter the Imperial Star to participate in seminars.],
[The core Cyborg force of the Skywrath Fortress will send representatives to receive personal commendations from His Majesty the Emperor.]
At the Yilanduo Star Spaceport, Yang was sitting in the corner, holding the 'Galaxy Daily' that Lu had produced for him, and looking at the news items with a serious expression.
The trend now is already obvious.
This is the contemporary emperor of the Sherman Empire who wants to strengthen the leadership position of imperial power at the core of imperial power.
In the past month, all kinds of news about the Emperor Star have been coming one after another. His Majesty the Emperor, who was previously hidden at the core of the empire's power system, suddenly seemed to have gone crazy and kept announcing his existence.
This is actually not conducive to the stability of the empire.
The territory of the empire is too vast, most of the administrative stars are far away from the emperor star, and the empire itself has existed for a long time compared to the human lifespan.
The ideological awakening of the people has long been completed.
In order to prevent civil unrest, the empire's adjustment mechanism is constantly reducing the privileges of the nobility, constantly promoting the Imperial Armada, and making the people believe that the planet they live on is the safest, richest and most potential place in the galaxy.
In addition, the Imperial Council of Elders always has the habit of comparing the contradiction between the common people and the aristocracy in the empire with the contradiction between ordinary people and the capitalist class in countries like the New Federation.
In this way, the people of the empire will feel that their life is actually pretty good.
Yang Luo feels that the greatest advantage of the Sherman Empire system is that Levi Sherman clearly pointed out that imperial power must be the reins around the necks of the aristocracy, pulling the aristocracy hard and reducing the oppression of the aristocracy on the civilian class.
, let the upward channels for most professions in society continue as usual, and keep opportunities as equal as possible.
For a long time, the social environment of the Sherman Empire was relatively relaxed. Military power and resource extraction rights were firmly controlled by the emperor and nobles. Imperial power, nobles, and civilians maintained a fragile balance.
The old emperor's sudden high-intensity declaration of his own existence has already impacted this balance.
Vested interests in the original situation have fallen into anxiety.
The great nobles are now worried about whether His Majesty the Emperor will continue to reduce the privileges of the nobility. Officials in high positions are worried that the Emperor will suddenly announce that he will take back the direct appointment power of officials at all levels.
The military department at the moment is the most stable, because they are directly responsible to His Majesty the Emperor, and it is no different now than before.
"Alas, troubled times are coming soon."
Yang Luo flipped through the electronic newspaper and immediately switched to foreign news.
[The Vice President of the New Federation condemns the empire’s barbaric invasion, which is a trample on human civilization.]
[Once again, backwardness defeated advancement, and barbarism defeated civilization.]
[The End of the Empire: What is the reason for the New Federation’s local military superiority? A brief analysis of the battle of ten thousand ships between the two major powers in the galaxy.]
Six black dots slowly crossed Yang Luo's head.
It really is!
Winning or losing all depends on one word, winning the online public opinion circle?
Yang really admires the New Federation's propaganda method.
On the other hand, the Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau, an imperial intelligence organization with such a bloated staff, is completely unable to suppress a single fart on an interstellar scale.
It is better to dismantle it as soon as possible and separate the three major sections of military intelligence, foreign intelligence, and internal and external public opinion.
A photography ball floated out of Yang Luo's pocket.
This kind of suspended sphere is a network access terminal that has just become popular recently. You can see many people floating one on their shoulders in the spaceport hall.
However, this is not a technological advancement, but a reincarnation of fashion. This type of network access terminal also emerged about a hundred years ago.
Lu's voice came: "Boss, Miss Mimili has two minutes to enter the space port."
"knew."
Yang Luo made a gesture of throwing something, and the projected newspaper exploded into a little fluorescent light.
Lu whispered: "Are you really not going to change your clothes?"
Although he was here to pick someone up, Yang Luo's outfit was indeed a bit too casual. With slippers, trousers, a floral shirt, and a straw hat, he could go back to his hometown on earth to guard the fish pond.
Yang Luo clicked his tongue: "It's just to pick up my eldest niece. Why do you want to be so handsome?"
"But boss, when you mention Miss Mimili, there will always be a slight increase in the secretion of certain hormones in the body."
Yang Luo cursed angrily: "Why do you care whether I secrete hormones or not? The reason why humans can stand at the top of the galaxy is because we can use reason to restrain animal nature, and use propriety, justice and shame to give history a profound soul."
"Boss, why are you talking so much these days?"
Yang Luo laughed: "I learned it from "The Emperor's Biography". After reading it a few times, I remembered some words unconsciously."
"Miss Mimily appears."
Lu thoughtfully projected an arrow in front of Yang Luo's eyes, pointing at the crowd rushing in front.
In fact, there was no need for Lu to point it out. Yang Luo glanced over and saw that the most eye-catching beautiful girl was the target he had been waiting for for half an hour.
Mimili is already well-known in the pirate world.
She wore a white wide-brimmed hat, wide sunglasses on her delicately made-up face, her long burgundy hair was slightly permed, her light gray suspender dress fit perfectly with her figure, and the lace wrapped around her arms
The white stockings extending from the bottom of her gloves and skirt gave her a bit more of a rich lady's temperament.
Is this still the Mimili who jumped into gangs and killed people?
Yang Luo frowned and curled his lips in confusion, but Mimili had already seen him, cheered, put her thighs together, and ran over like a lady.
"Pork"
What the hell kind of accent is this!
Seeing that she had opened her arms enthusiastically, Yang Luo opened his arms with a smile in order not to disgrace her.
Mimi Li fell into his arms like a baby swallow.
Yang Luo felt that there were many male creatures of all ages around him, casting slightly sour looks at him.
Yang Luo smiled and patted Mimi Li's arm, smelling the strange fragrance, and said with a smile:
"Okay, there are too many people here. Let's go to the boat first and catch up on old times."
Mimi Li's suitcase floated over from behind, and on the fixed screen at the front of the suitcase, Molly, wearing an elegant long dress, appeared, leaning against Yang Luoti's skirt.
"Hello, Dear Mr. Yang."
"Hello Molly."
Yang Luo laughed, and Mimili had already taken his arm and looked forward.
"Where's my daddy?"
"Your dad has rushed to a meeting in a neighboring country," Yang Luo said with a smile, "Now is a critical period for resource integration, and he, an energy tycoon, is very busy."
Mimi Li curled her lips slightly: "I'm busy, I'm not here to see him."
"What's going on with you? You're dressed like a lady."
"Don't you like it?" Mimi Li clicked her tongue and hugged Yang Luo tighter, as if intentionally, "I am currently wanted by seven or eight small countries, so of course I have to cover it up."
Yang Luo smiled and said: "We are already here, what are you still afraid of?"
"It's always good to be careful," Mimi Li took off her hat and threw it on the suitcase. A few hairs fell to Yang's shoulders, "Why is uncle free this time? Shouldn't you be busier?"
"Go to the boat and talk."
Yang Luo agreed and took Mimili into the military emergency passage of the space port. Under the watchful eyes of a group of passengers, he boarded a small transport ship and landed on the surface.
As soon as she entered the cabin, Mimili found that there were only a few maid robots moving around, and she breathed a long sigh of relief.
"It's suffocating me to death!"
Mimi Li complained and raised her hand to untie her long skirt. Yang Luo quickly turned around and sat in the driver's seat.
There was a sound of Kou Kou's testicles coming from behind. Yang Luo couldn't help turning his head and glanced, only to see Mimi Li taking off her long skirt without hesitation, wearing only a protective jacket and safety pants as light as a vest, in the suitcase.
I took out hot pants that were no more than two centimeters longer than safety pants.
In just two minutes, the daughter of a rich family turned into a hot girl, and her high heels were replaced by a pair of thick-soled short boots.
She sat in the passenger seat, her two straight long legs crossed on the edge of the console, and her feet swayed slightly.
Yang Luodao: "You should also pay attention."
"Uncle is not an outsider," Mimi Li blinked her long eyelashes and took the initiative to lean towards Yang Luo, "Or, do you think uncle will still have some thoughts about me?"
"I promised your father that I won't do anything to you."
Yang Luo sighed softly:
"Although I'm not a conservative person, I do need to respect the promises I make."
"Didn't you just ask why I was free?"
"Just after the imperial expedition ended, there was some turmoil in the country, and the Imperial Star Circle was not very stable, so I came back to take advantage of my illness to avoid the limelight."
Mimili was not interested in imperial politics, so she changed the subject after asking a few questions.
She said enthusiastically: "Okay! Since you have time, I will reluctantly be your escort and accompany you around."
"You don't care about the fleet?"
Mimili smiled and said: "What a fleet, it's just a group of pirates and some small broken ships. The pirate group has entered a rest period. They went to the black market to resell squeezed goods. Business is good during this period. They are expected to be busy for several months.
."
Yang Luo was a little confused: "Aren't you in charge of finance directly?"
"If I have to do everything by myself, even if there are eight of me, I will still be exhausted by the affairs of the pirate group."
Mimi Li stretched her waist.
She seemed to be deliberately showing off her beautiful figure. Her slender waist stretched without any fat, her snow-white skin exuded a slight luster, and her smooth waistcoat line was very eye-catching.
Yang Luo almost forgot that this person is a skin whitening enthusiast.
Mimili said slowly: "Since you choose to employ people, you must trust them. Instead of worrying about whether this person will betray you all the time, it is better to see his true nature before employing him and maintain his prestige on a daily basis."
"Okay," Yang Luo chuckled, "Do you plan to continue working in the pirate industry?"
"I don't have any plans to change careers for the time being, but."
Mimi Li turned to look at Yang Luo, her jewel-like eyes sparkling with light.
"If uncle, you allow me to follow you in my adventures, I can temporarily put aside this career."
"What you have experienced is incomparable to my daily life as a pirate."
"It's too dangerous for me here," Yang Luo said warmly, "We will discuss these matters later. Although I have gained a firm foothold in the empire, my foundation is still too shallow, and the road to promotion is not clear. I
I’m also thinking about how to develop next.”
"Uncle, do you want to become a master of the empire?"
"I can only say that gaining power in the empire will help me achieve my ideals and goals."
Mimili thought carefully.
Yang Luo clicked on the projection screen, pushed it in front of Mimi Li, and said with a smile: "Look, this is the itinerary I arranged for you."
"Uh, Dark Star Base 2? Are we going to your secret base?"
"There is an intelligent machine production line there," Yang Luo said softly, "Don't you yearn for mechanical transformation? I will help you design several mechanical transformation plans."
"real?!"
Mimili was overjoyed, and then she cleverly smelled a hint of conspiracy.
"Uncle, you want to persuade me to give up mechanical modification, right? I don't change my mind that easily."
Yang Luo smiled and said nothing.
The faint fragrance wafted throughout the cabin, which made him feel much better.
"well."
Emperor Star, somewhere on the edge of a city where hundreds of thousands of technicians gather, in a park.
Catherine, wearing exoskeleton armor and a tactical helmet, jumped off the suspended pedal and sat on a stone-like seat in front of a fountain, quietly lost in thought.
After leaving the manor areas of the palaces and nobles, Catherine finally did not have to see the scenes of the collective depravity of the great nobles.
There are very few imperial citizens on the Emperor Star, only about 100 million, of which 90 million are "ordinary citizens" and 10 million are slaves who are like the private property of the royal nobles.
There are not many slaves in the empire, and most of them are on some semi-resource and semi-administrative planets, and they are felons or war prisoners.
One by one, the empire destroyed a small country before and demoted about 3% of the population there to the status of irregular citizens.
Crime and oppression happened to these slaves.
Catherine had actually heard about the persecution of slaves by the nobles, but when she actually saw the scene, it still impacted her deep-rooted ideas.
The nobles of the empire are not that noble.
The Imperial Star, which was supposed to be the spiritual symbol of the empire and the representative of civilization, was instead riddled with the ugliness of human nature.
Catherine looked down at the communicator. Although she could not communicate with the outside world, she could feel a little more comforted by touching the guy's profile picture with her fingers.
There was a slight tremor in the ground.
The Emperor Star module began to rotate, and the simulated stars in the sky also began to move.
The star system where the Emperor Star is located is in darkness, because the star in the center has been wrapped by a thin energy-absorbing device, which continuously provides the Emperor Star with nearly endless energy.
But even so, sometimes energy has to be transported from outside the star system.
The Emperor Star seems to be an energy-devouring monster.
Catherine raised her hand to hold the front of her helmet, and one figure after another suddenly appeared in her mind.
Catherine, don’t think about these meaningless questions and do your job.’
Director Reva's voice is always so calm.
'Captain Catherine, we keep fighting with all our lives just to protect these scum? We set a death date at birth and participate in the fatal human dimension enhancement experiment just to pave the way for these scum? I can't do this
Accept it, I can't accept it!'
‘Captain, we are super reformers. We should face powerful enemies instead of becoming the watchdogs of nobles.
'I can't stand it here anymore.'
The voices of the team members gradually became more excited.
'I saw with my own eyes that they hung several young people up and beat them to death bit by bit, and then the bodies were taken away and fed to pets!'
Someone sneered in my ear:
'Children born from slaves are still slaves. They are using genetic optimization technology to select playthings for themselves. Human beings here are just playing with the price of goods, do you understand?'
'What's the big deal? If you don't like it, why not try to become one of them?'
'We are super reformers, why should we care about these messy things? Otherwise, why is this place called the Empire and not the Sherman Federation?'
These figures suddenly disappeared and turned into a girl wearing only a piece of underwear. She rushed out from the corner of the manor on the roadside, but was grabbed by her feet by two mechanical guards and dragged back to the corner gate of the manor.
'Help me! Help me! Please help me!'
She suddenly thought of the several foreign wars she had participated in. The corpses of soldiers and enemies seemed to be piled up into a hill, and she was standing on the top of the hill in a daze.
"snort!"
Catherine suddenly covered her helmet with both hands, her body was shaking slightly, as if she was enduring great pain, and there was a constant buzzing in her ears.
What she didn't know was that a hidden camera device hidden in a tree not far away had focused on her and was observing her carefully.
