Early in the morning, the young major was mercilessly dragged away from the warm bed by the retired old pirate who came back early.
"Where is my daughter?" Kolev shouted, glaring.
"Continuing her criminal journey."
Yang Ming lay back on the bed again, closing his eyes and mumbling:
"I tried to persuade you, but she doesn't want to come. She will stay on the outskirts of Luofeng Empire to conduct business recently... You actually asked Molly to lure her to Luofeng Empire. This is simply despicable."
"You can't blame me."
Kolev responded a little guiltily, and the old man in a suit and leather suit sat beside Yang Ming's bed and continued to drip.
"She is my only daughter, you know. If she stays closer to me, I can always support her if she encounters any trouble."
Yang Ming complained: "Let me have a good rest. I was frightened by the old emperor yesterday."
"The profession of pirate is still too dangerous," Kolev continued, "I have to find a way to change her ideal."
Yang Ming turned around and turned to the old man, not bothering to correct Kolev's arrogant parenting concepts.
However, Yang Ming's wish to catch up on some sleep failed to come true.
As soon as Kolev returned to his room to rest, Edwan sent a video invitation.
The second prince looked haggard, obviously he had not slept all night last night. After seeing Yang Ming in the video communication, he forced a smile and sighed dejectedly:
"Ming, I feel like my father has suddenly changed."
Yang Ming felt a little guilty for no reason.
He smiled and said, "Perhaps Your Majesty is liberating your nature? Or maybe Your Majesty feels that your life was too repressed before, and now you decide to indulge?"
"But putting a variety show production team in jail for no reason, this..."
"This is imperial power," Yang Ming reminded, "Adwang, you have to always think that your father is still in charge, and you have to endure any dissatisfaction."
Adwang lay down on the sofa: "I just got the news that my father had a quarrel with Princess Diana. Their quarrel was very fierce."
"Take care of Emilia," Yang Ming reminded, "Don't let her get involved. The conflict between the two of them may become more intense later."
Adwang asked: "Ming, do you know something?"
"Princess Dana is the Sherman Empire's spy," Yang Ming said slowly, "This is a secret that everyone knows, it's not a big deal."
"But my father has been so abnormal lately."
Edwang sighed:
"I cannot accept my father's careless treatment of his own people."
In this regard, Yang Ming could only offer some gentle words of advice.
What else could he do?
Do you want to tell Edwan that the old emperor was actually an omnic and that your father was killed a long time ago or imprisoned by the Sherman Empire?
Based on Edwan's temperament, he might directly confront the Sherman Empire, putting himself in danger.
Although the old emperor's intelligent machine has a tendency to lose control, Yang Ming does not think that this thing can escape the control of the Sherman Empire.
The strength of the Sherman Empire cannot be underestimated at any time.
Edwang suddenly said: "By the way, Yang Ming, my father is about to give you a title. According to the advice given by the royal minister of the interior, you should be a viscount. Do you need me to help you fight for a higher title? Luofeng's
The title itself is of little value."
"This is just the beginning, isn't it?"
Yang Ming smiled and said: "If you don't climb up slowly from knight to baron, it would be pretty good."
Adwang also laughed: "The titles Luofeng directly told me were knights and barons. Father's rewards cannot be so stingy."
"Go and have a rest, Your Highness," Yang Ming said warmly, "You should get a gift when you wake up."
"Oh, don't be like this!"
Adwang frowned and said, "You have said that, how can I still sleep? What kind of gift, please show it to me first."
"See you in the afternoon...Miss Windsor
We’ve called you, don’t let this go unnoticed.”
Yang Ming casually turned off the communication video.
Rather than accompanying Edwang to worry about the country and its people, exchanging affectionate words with Miss Windsor made Yang Ming feel happier.
…
Near noon, the tasks assigned to Gudun Maha by Yang Ming began to advance steadily.
The core idea of the so-called fake coup is to deliberately alert the snake. The "snake" here refers to the Sherman Empire.
Before deciding to use this plan, Yang Ming conceived several plans:
Use the advantage of a single soldier to advance directly to kill Yin Louis and the current Minister of Defense;
Let Gudunmaha directly send people to assassinate Yin Louis;
Plan together with Adwang to investigate Yin Louis first, frame some charges on Yin Louis, and at least force him to leave the Luofeng Empire first...
etc.
However, these plans may easily expose Yang Ming's own combat effectiveness, or easily suffer backlash, or allow the opponent to take advantage of him.
After repeated discussions between Yang Ming and Lu, the fake coup plan came into being.
Although the steps of this plan are simple, it is quite difficult to implement.
In the first step, Lu used the image of Yin Louis to synthesize an "internal speech" that was almost fake. In the video, Yin Louis encouraged his cronies, scolded the Luofeng royal family for being incompetent and stupid, and announced that he would seize the throne and establish a military government.
By noon, the speech video had begun to go viral on the Internet.
In the first step of the operation, Lu also designed a lot of small details, such as making the video appear in high density on various social software, but not on the hot search on the Internet portal; when the popularity can no longer be suppressed and on the hot search, then suppress it
The hot search method stimulates the emotions of netizens and reversely confirms the authenticity of the video content.
Immediately following the second step, Gudun Mahar immediately convened a meeting with several close generals at the same level and took the initiative to discuss the fake video.
After studying the activities of the two New Federation and Guel Alliance agents, Yang Ming concluded that Yin Louis was not ready for an uprising at this stage.
Louis Yin should not only have not communicated with Gudun Maha, but Louis Yin, a cautious old guy, should not have discussed this matter with anyone except Louis Yin's absolute confidant, the current Minister of Defense of Luofeng.
Sure enough, when Gudun Mahar and these generals saw the video of the speech, their first reaction was to contact Yin Louis.
At this time, they will find that they cannot contact Yin Louis at all.
Yin Louis' communication was cut off, and orders could only be circulated among the flagship of his fleet.
This is the absolute advantage that Lu has in the information field when facing a puppet country like the Luofeng Empire with relatively backward military technology.
Gudunmaha didn't need to give any more hints. Some of the generals suggested putting their respective troops on alert and making all battle preparations.
Gudunmaha readily agreed and appropriately expressed his concerns about Yin Louis's risky behavior.
"We can obviously make a lot of money and then retire with honors," Gudun Maha said with a sigh.
Several generals felt the same way.
The fake coup plan successfully completed the first two steps, and the royal family of the Luofeng Empire was already in a state of chaos.
Princess Dana, who was still quarreling with the old emperor last night, sent a dozen secret letters in succession.
The regular regiments stationed on the border of the Sherman Empire have begun to mobilize.
By this time, Yang Ming and Lu had already begun to advance the third step.
The Royal Palace has been hit by another cyber attack.
Although the attack was quickly extinguished by the technical team of the escort army, the royal escort army began to be on full alert. The local governors of the five administrative stars all received the order of "King Qin". The emperor and ministers gathered in the main hall for discussion.
Everyone's nerves were already tense.
A challenge between military power and imperial power is about to break out.
In just two or three hours, the Luofeng Empire went from an ordinary day with beautiful wind and sunshine to a storm and dark clouds.
Ordinary people are a little out of breath.
However, Yang
Ming Helu had already retired and completed the fourth and final step of the plan.
Lu resumed normal communication with Yin Lui.
…
stupid.
Yin Louis, the former Minister of Defense of the Luofeng Empire and a veteran military talker who single-handedly created the current military system, was leaning on a cane with both hands at the moment and looking solemnly at the projection screen in front of him.
The projections of twelve military generals are gathered on one screen.
Everyone is staring at Yin Louis.
Only the current Minister of Defense and the other two generals have firm eyes, while most people's eyes are hesitant and wandering.
Yin Louis said in a deep voice: "This is what happened..."
"Teacher," the current Minister of Defense suddenly said, frowning: "There is a communication that reached me through diplomatic channels."
"Who hit him?" Yin Louis asked with a frown.
"Sherman Empire Department of Defense, do I need to answer the call? Teacher."
The cabin where Yin Louis was located became audible.
The old man frowned tightly.
Yin Luiyi has realized that what happened today is by no means a so-called coincidence, and that he was "hacked" by someone.
Louis Yin was indeed preparing for a coup.
A coup is not just a game. Once it starts, there is no way out. Only one of him and the old emperor can survive to reach the peak of power.
Therefore, Yin Louis was extremely cautious, everything was being carried out in secret, and preparations were made in secret.
In fact, he has only just reached the first stage of the mutiny. He has not yet prepared the trusted troops to be used in the uprising, has not yet prepared to instigate rebellion against the Royal Guards, and has not cleared out the unstable elements in the military...
"Teacher," the current Minister of Defense asked in a low voice, "do you want to answer this communication?"
Yin Lui's hands were trembling slightly.
He has been running the Luofeng Empire's military all his life, and has served two emperors successively. Now he clearly has the opportunity, and he can touch that position with his own hands before he dies...
"Take it."
Yin Louis' voice was very soft, as if he said it inadvertently while breathing.
As soon as he finished speaking, the figures of several generals disappeared at the same time on the projection screen in front of him.
They already know the result.
…
Yin Louis fled.
Yin Louis, who had been hiding near the border, took a medium-sized transport ship and rushed out of the Luofeng Empire border with dozens of guards.
This news quickly spread throughout the entire planetary network of the Luofeng Empire, and the dark cloud of war that quickly formed within a few hours quickly dissipated in an even shorter period of time.
All military garrisons have been lifted.
The Royal Guards resumed normal duty and training.
The financial market of Luofeng Empire, which had just fluctuated and declined, began to climb in the opposite direction again.
The people all breathed a sigh of relief.
When Yang Ming walked down the stairs, Kolev was wearing an apron, holding a spatula, listening to the lively news channel, and doing capitalist's dirty cooking.
Yang Ming had no intention of helping.
He sat on the sofa in the living room, turned on the projection TV, and quietly waited for Adwan's communication.
Half an hour later, Adwang arrived belatedly.
Adwang was sitting in the back seat of the hover car. He must have just come out of the palace. At this moment, he looked around like a thief and whispered to Yang Ming:
"Is this the gift?"
"Hmm," Yang Ming shrugged, "I don't know anything."
"This is incredible," Edwan whispered. "The technical team analyzed that the video of the speech that suddenly appeared was fake. The military had no signs of secretly mobilizing troops before, and according to the informants I placed in the army,
Report, Louis Yin had a network failure at noon. He was hiding in the fleet and was unable to communicate with the outside world for a while."
"He is so unlucky," Yang Ming said seriously, "all the coincidences happened to him."
"Well, it's a coincidence," Edwan wondered, "Why?
Why didn't Louis Yin directly issue a statement saying that the speech video was forged? Wouldn't this be able to calm the storm?"
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Because he is really plotting rebellion."
Edwang was slightly startled: "He is so old, how can he still have such ambitions? Even if he is really conspiring to rebel, can't he hold back for a while and issue a clarifying statement?"
"I don't know either, I heard someone say it."
Yang Ming continued:
"Yin Louis's mutiny was actually part of the New Federation's retaliatory action.
"Assuming that Louis Yin issues a clarification statement, which means he is soft on the royal family, we can build momentum and say that he is expressing his loyalty to the royal family.
"In this way, he will not only offend the New Federation, but also lose part of his prestige among the top military officials. The only person he can please is the Sherman Empire, which doesn't care about his role. Moreover, as long as Louis Yin surrenders, what will happen next?
He will also inevitably face investigation by the royal family.
"Not to mention that he was planning a mutiny. The royal family has tolerated him for so many years, how could it miss such a good opportunity?
"Taking advantage of the situation and fleeing are his only two options. After he ran away, his influence on the army is still there, not much different from now. He can also publicly accuse the country and show his value, so as to continue
Attached to the New Federation."
Edwan smiled and said: "I will find a way to shut him up completely. He has left the fleet and the threat is much smaller."
Yang Ming stretched his body and said, "Okay, Your Highness, you must still have a lot of things to do, and I have to go on an entertainment project now, so I won't accompany you."
"We haven't talked much recently, and I don't know what you are busy with every day," Edwan complained in a low voice.
"We are all grown men. We just get together to eat, drink and have fun. Why do we talk for so many days?"
Yang Ming turned off the communication, untied his watch and threw it on the coffee table.
This is to strike first and gain the upper hand.
Achieving the goal without losing any blood is pretty good.
Kolev cursed beside him:
"If you're done with all those dirty politics, come over and help me carry the plate, open a bottle of wine, and make some preparations for the celebration!"
"Celebrating?" Yang Ming wondered, "Mimi Li is going to have a stepmother?"
"The system you bought is about to reach your target star! Your crazy backup plan will be officially launched tonight! Don't you need to celebrate this?"
Yang Ming clicked his tongue and smiled.
The housekeeping robot controlled by Lu brought two holographic imaging systems.
