After waiting for more than a dozen galaxies and receiving the list given by Sang's mother, Yang Ming was no longer interested in staying in the underground world.
He appeared directly on the surface, put a mask on himself, and began to fly into space. At the same time, he notified the fleet to send a transport ship to come down to pick him up.
The monitoring station on the surface of Domingos made no report on this UFO.
But the scene of Yang Ming's own flight was simultaneously conveyed to Sang Mu and other senior Domingos people.
This is the best proof of the identity of the white ghost.
The first thing Yang Ming did when he returned to the fleet was to send two reports to the military headquarters.
The first report was the list. Before sending this list, Lu had already started to implement Yang Ming's plan, using the Imperial Military Intelligence Agency to play bad guy and prepare Catherine to play bad side.
The content of the second report is his evaluation of Labrador.
Labrador's performance was indeed excellent in Yang Ming's case, and Yang Ming also praised Labrador generously in his report.
After all, such a warm, caring, talkative, interesting, and easy-to-control mechanical life can easily become his help in the future. At this time, giving Labrador an extra hand will be very important to Boss Yang's overall layout.
, also has a positive meaning.
When the report was only two galaxies away, Yang Ming received an official letter from the military department, asking him to be prepared to participate in the projection meeting.
After a while.
"We are now convening a regular inquiry meeting of the military department, and I would like to ask Commander Hanton of the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet to come forward and answer the question."
Military meeting composed of stereoscopic projection.
Yang Ming, wearing a dark blue imperial military uniform and the royal knight commander's badge, appeared in front of more than a dozen of the empire's top generals, led by Admiral Thomas, and performed a standard military salute.
"Lieutenant General Hanton!"
Admiral Thomas looked very solemn:
"Did you enter the dangerous Dominguez planet fifty galactic hours ago privately and alone without reporting it to the military?"
Yang Ming replied angrily: "Yes, General! But I have already reported in advance! But the military department did not give me instructions! The opportunity is fleeting! My results have been reported to the imperial military department, I think
You have already seen it! I found a list of terrorist organizations related to the Domingos Star, and found more than 20 twins who were hidden in the Imperial Army, whose ancestors were from the Domingos Star, and who were actually controlled by the New Federation CIA.
Face spy!"
"Lieutenant General Hanton, I'm not asking you to show off your military exploits now!"
Admiral Thomas yelled:
"You left your fleet and soldiers in space and entered a highly dangerous area alone. This is against military discipline!
"You are making fun of the lives of millions of soldiers!
"Just this mistake! I can take off your military uniform!"
Yang Ming just stood and said nothing.
Of course he knew that Admiral Thomas didn't really want to accuse him.
No one in the Imperial Military Department dared to question him.
This is actually the tradition of the Imperial Army.
Generally speaking, problems that are directly criticized in person are big or small and ultimately trivial.
General Thomas is considered Yang Ming's immediate boss. The two have worked together for many years and have been linked to each other since the White Ghost entered the empire. Over the years, they have achieved mutual success and made progress together.
Now, General Thomas yelled a few times and attributed the problem to the word 'mistake'. Naturally, others could not attack Yang Ming because of his neglect of duty.
An old general on the side smiled and smoothed things over:
"Thomas, there is no need to get so angry. Lieutenant General Hanton's personal strength is obvious to all. Except for the sudden nuclear explosion on Domingos Planet, there is no way he will be harmed at all.
"I suggest that we put this matter aside for now.
"Vice Admiral Hanton himself is not a commanding talent, and when he left the command ship, he had completed the temporary handover of command and made a very proper arrangement, and there was indeed nothing around that could threaten our fleet.
enemy.
"Lieutenant General Hanton was able to achieve such great results only after he discovered the opportunity and attacked decisively."
Then, these old foxes each briefly expressed their opinions, basically explaining and excusing Yang Ming, and by the way, they showed their kindness to the imperial prince and showed his favor.
Admiral Thomas's expression gradually warmed up.
Yang Ming showed a faint smile and took the initiative: "I must admit that I made a mistake. I must self-examine here. I am still used to the idea of fighting alone. I don't have much experience in commanding large fleets. I will definitely do it later.
It will strengthen self-study.”
"Okay," Admiral Thomas frowned, "tell me what you discovered on Domingos."
In the next words, Yang Ming didn’t lie.
He said slowly:
"I visited the ruins of the Dominguez massacre in the Mediterranean Sea. I can't imagine how many lives were lost in that explosion.
"I am actually quite familiar with the general who gave the order to fire back then. He is now peacefully at the highest level of the military. I will not make any comment on this matter for the time being.
"But I think this is not meritorious, because before this tragedy, the Domingos had never invaded the empire, and the empire's revenge was a bit too much."
The expressions of a group of generals suddenly became extremely serious.
This is one of the most sensitive topics in the military and should not be mentioned on a daily basis.
Just like the previous Council of Elders, they were not allowed to discuss how the previous Great Elder was forced to death by the Emperor and the White Ghost.
Admiral Thomas said: "Soldiers, don't think about political issues. Tell us what you saw on Dominguez Planet."
"yes!"
Yang Ming said:
"I entered the Dominguez planet in disguise, and used my mind control methods to influence the minds of some Domingos people.
"Here, I learned a lot of secrets that the empire had not paid attention to before.
“First, 85% of Dominguez people belong to the survivalist group, which is different from the revenge group and the extreme radical group.
"Second, the Domingos' national strategy is to strive for reproduction. In order to prevent being destroyed by the empire, they strive to spread their national genes among the polities of the galaxy.
"From these two perspectives, unless the empire launches a large-scale massacre, it will not be able to make the Domingos truly and completely surrender.
"Third, the Domingos have successfully penetrated into all aspects of the empire by encouraging the slave population plundered by the empire to have children. Although most of them are still slaves, there are at least one billion imperial citizens and Domingos.
There are direct social relations with the people of Sri Lanka, and indirect social relations with tens of billions of imperial citizens.
"Based on the above three points, if the Empire were to launch a massacre, or even repeat the Domingos tragedy again, the Empire's interstellar environment would become extremely bad.
"After the Queen of the Insect Tide was repelled, the Empire has become the strongest imaginary enemy of almost all political forms. These political forms, especially those in the federal camp and the free camp, can't help but think about the empire that can repel the great Insect Tide.
Will it become their nightmare?
"How should the empire reconcile the relationship between itself and the Domingos people? This is the question I thought about the most when I was on Domingos!"
Admiral Thomas nodded and said slowly: "How did you get this list?"
"It's through a method that cannot be disclosed directly," Yang Ming said. "I don't want to cause panic among the empire's senior officials."
An old general frowned and asked, "Is it mind control?"
"There are certain factors, I can only say," Yang Ming curled his lips slightly, "There are also certain factors, which are through words and empty promises."
"Lieutenant General Hanton, your abilities amaze us."
"In addition," an old general said, "the team responsible for Imperial Guard 2.0 reported that there was some damage and loss of data in this system, and Labrador entered the planet with you at the time. Both of them
Is there a connection?"
Yang Ming said: "Yes, there is a connection. Labdo deleted part of the data on his own. He is a simple mechanical life, and he is somewhat unable to face what the empire did on Domingos. The specific details of this matter, I
They have all been written in my evaluation report on Labrador. If the research team there has any questions, they can ask them to come to me directly."
"Lieutenant General Hanton, what is your overall evaluation of Labrador?"
Yang Ming:……
These old guys can't even be bothered to read a report of several thousand words?
"I have a good impression of him."
Yang Ming said seriously:
"He is a highly anthropomorphic command and dispatch system, and he is full of kindness to human beings. This kindness is not simulated or disguised.
"His biggest hidden danger is actually that when facing the enemies of the empire, he may be soft-hearted and unable to issue orders to fire on enemy civilians or prisoners, but this is not a shortcoming.
"However, I am still cautiously optimistic about whether he can successfully take over a war involving tens of thousands of ships. This must be tested in actual combat.
"These are comprehensive judgments made by me and my personal technical team."
Admiral Thomas continued to ask: "The information in this list includes the internal composition of nineteen large terrorist organizations, covering all aspects of personnel in these organizations... This raised several questions for me."
"Speaking."
"How do you determine that this list is not used internally by the Dominguez people to eliminate dissidents?
"It's very simple, General," Yang Ming said with a smile, "They can't lie in front of me. The information here corresponds to some of the information held by the Military Intelligence Bureau. Sorry, I didn't go through the military route and directly
I asked the Military Intelligence Bureau to provide me with information for verification."
“How unified are the Domingos?”
"If a second tragedy occurs, they may become complete enemies of the empire, and at least 15% of the Domingos will become terrorists."
Yang Ming sighed:
"After all, if you can't even guarantee the basic right of survival, then what do you care about?"
"In this case," Admiral Thomas' eyes were very sharp, "there are so many survivalists who regard having offspring as an honor, why can't they be regarded as potential revenge factions and extreme radicals? Lieutenant General Hanton, what do you think about this issue?
The perspective is not purely an imperial perspective. You are the hero of the empire and the lieutenant general of the empire. Everything should be based on the interests of the empire."
"General, I am considering the interests of the empire."
Yang Ming said calmly:
"I have not done anything to harm the interests of the empire, nor have I used my sympathy for the Dominguez people to gain political capital for myself like those clowns who sensationalize themselves.
"I don't need any political capital either.
"I'm just thinking about how to change the empire's image in the interstellar world to avoid the crisis that the empire will face in the visible future.
"During the last empire's expedition to the New Federation, this crisis has already occurred. The other three of the four major powers in the galaxy have united together, and the other two of the three major ideological camps in the galaxy have already conducted substantial military alliances.
"When the loss of population and warships caused by the insect wave returns to the previous level with the passage of time, the empire is likely to usher in an era of multiple pressures."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit stiff, an old general said with a smile: "These are all issues for the future. We need multiple investigations and detailed discussions. Today is not a suitable topic to discuss."
"Lieutenant General Hanton, have you made a follow-up plan?"
"Plan?" Yang Ming asked, "You mean?"
Another veteran general said: "Now that we have obtained this list, we can directly prove that Planet Dominguez is the soil where terrorism is brewing, and it is a planet that is extremely harmful to the empire."
"Then?"
Yang Ming frowned tightly.
Several old generals looked at each other and each said:
"There are no outsiders here, and it's a confidential meeting, so we don't have to be secretive."
"That's right, Lieutenant General Hanton, we can now legitimately plunder a part of the population. Only in this way can we bring actual benefits to the empire."
"The Ministry of Finance wants to revitalize the economy and wants a group of cheap labor. Do you understand?"
"This time, there will be at least 30 million Domingos."
Yang Ming's expression became visibly cold, and his eyes were a little scary.
Yang Ming said coldly: "What do you mean, you want me to plunder the population to fill the empire's slave register?"
Admiral Thomas said: "This is a required course for imperial generals."
Yang Ming was silent for a few seconds and said calmly: "This is an extremely short-sighted behavior and damages the long-term interests of the empire."
"Lieutenant General Hanton, you know what you are talking about, right?" Thomas reminded.
"Yes, I definitely know."
Yang Ming took a breath:
"You said that soldiers should not discuss politics, but general, I am not just a general in the military department, I am also a Royal Knight Commander, a white ghost trusted by hundreds of billions of people in the empire, and the Grand Duke of the Sherman Empire.
"The future destiny of the empire is one of the issues that I must consider. Your sight may be limited to the inside of the army, but I cannot just focus on this.
"I refuse to plunder Domingos.
"If you want me to do such dirty work, get my hands dirty, and then join in with you all, please let Your Majesty personally give me this order!"
A group of old generals were speechless.
Some people even felt a little guilty.
General Thomas showed no expression, just nodded and continued to ask: "Last question, even if we can get this list, how can we arrest these elusive terrorists?"
"Please rest assured that I got the list back. Naturally, I will keep an eye on this matter until the end. I will personally arrest these terrorists."
Yang Ming said coldly:
"Everyone, please convey my next few words to the military headquarters.
"The Imperial Military Department can regard this as my suggestion, or as an order given by me.
"Before I clean up these terrorists, whoever touches Domingos Planet will be at odds with the future of the empire and me personally. If anyone wants to provoke me, please feel free to try.
"Since I promised the Domingos who gave me this list that they can live peacefully among the stars, I will fulfill my promise.
"If you are completely blinded by your immediate interests and do not think about the future of the empire, then I will question your qualifications to serve as managers of the Imperial Military Department."
After saying this, Boss Yang's assistant cut off the connection from afar.
The environment in Yang Ming's sight changed several times in succession, and soon returned to the scene of the bridge of the command ship.
Why is there a little tension around me?
Boss Yang, who was becoming more and more sensitive to life fluctuations, turned his head and glanced. Several staff officers on the side, as well as the communicators and operators in the distance, all looked at this side blankly.
Yang Ming frowned slightly.
"Are there flowers on my face?"
"No, no, General," a staff officer couldn't help but whisper, "Are you just chatting with the highest level of the military...?"
"if not?"
Yang Ming shrugged: "There is no prince here. I have the highest title and I have the final say. We are an imperial system."
"Yes, that's right."
Yang Ming stretched out: "Give me the order to have all the fleets prepare to return home. Don't stay in people's fields if you have nothing to do. Aren't you here to fight terrorism this time? I have obtained the list of terrorists, and you are still affecting the normal behavior of ordinary people.
