Ou Shao, who has been engaged in special work for a long time, has a strong ability to observe words and emotions. With just one glance, he noticed some changes in Zheng Tian's mental state.
Now Zheng Tian is already an excellent military commander, and has already mastered the art of nourishing qi without being able to express emotions or anger.
But Ou Youning still glimpsed the hidden changes in her heart through the surface. She hid it subconsciously, but the lightness and relief that emanated from her whole person could not be faked.
So Ou Shao tried to say: "Wow! Oh my god! Zheng Tian, you actually laughed! What good things happened recently?"
Zheng Tian shook her head, "I laugh that you are now at least one of the top twenty powerful people in Chifeng Star, but you still haven't changed the habit of flattering others that you developed in the past."
Ou Shao curled his lips and said disdainfully: "You don't understand this. This is the way to survive for a little person like me. When it comes to flattering others, how can I compare to you, the captain? I think back then, some people even
I want to give my boss a bath and rub his back, but unfortunately I have a washboard figure and my boss is not interested."
"Go! Go! Go……"
Watching the two of them getting further and further away from each other in the chase, until their figures disappeared around the corner, the arc that Ren Zhong had subconsciously curved at the corners of his mouth slowly disappeared.
To this day, it is only when he is with these old team members who have followed him from the beginning until now that he, the leader of civilization, can easily reveal his true nature.
It's not that he was being sarcastic, but as his status changed, he was indeed no longer able to express his true thoughts in public as easily as before.
As the Red Front star force emerges, he will inevitably receive more and more attention, and there will definitely be a large number of professionals analyzing him personally, trying to use humanities such as micro-expression psychology, body language, etc.
Pry into his heart and further predict Chifengxing's next policy direction.
This subject is collectively called the integrated analysis method. It may sound a bit metaphysical, but in the battle of civilizations, the integrated analysis method is indeed indispensable. All it takes is one successful deduction and prediction, and there is a chance to have the final say. In a sense,
This method is roughly equivalent to a weakened version of Ren Zhong's predictive ability.
For example, now, Ren Zhong has decided to send an expedition fleet to the Broken Star Ring for hunting. But if the professionals at Nanxiang Earl's Mansion used the integrated analysis method to figure out his thoughts and caught the clear direction of this matter, they deliberately strengthened the targeting.
Without the control of the entrance and exit of the subspace passage in the South Nine Galaxy, the expedition fleet will be in danger and may never return.
Therefore, in the following days, Yan Zhong pushed Huo Donghua to the stage. Under the pretense of cryogenic slumber, he actually sat quietly behind the scenes. However, he maintained high attention and deep interference in various important affairs for a long time, and secretly directly controlled the direction of civilization.
There are three purposes in total. First, to increase one's own sense of mystery and prevent other forces, led by Nanxiang Earl's Mansion, from capturing the Chifeng clan's movements through integrated analysis. Second, to personally and deeply intervene in important matters, with a view to letting people know as soon as possible.
The second and third generation management of Chifengxing grew up as soon as possible, and arranged hierarchical arrangements for the top management of Chifengxing to prevent the group of people who fought together in the country from passing away and no one can use them. Thirdly, hide your possession of Gundam
His ability to live a long life with a purely natural theoretical lifespan of 192 years has prevented him from being noticed by the imperial family, so that he became a guinea pig.
In the blink of an eye, another two years passed.
Gruen endured the humiliation and went through two years of forced study on the Nanxiang Prime. He was forced to make peace with the Liu family woman designated by the Nanxiang Earl's Palace and gave birth to a son. He then personally ordered the family guards on Nanxiang B to
He took action, killed dozens of his wives, concubines, and heirs, and established the son as the first heir to Nanjiu Viscount in advance, and finally returned to his hometown in honor under the escort of the fleet of guards from Nanxiang Earl's Mansion.
Since then, the Nanxiang Earl's Mansion's comprehensive sanctions against Nanjiu Viscount have come to an end. Many forces in the Nanxiang star cluster have different opinions on Gruen Augustus' move, with mixed praise and criticism.
Some people say that Gruen Augustus is very decisive, good at forbearing, and turns risks into opportunities. Through this, he got on the line of Nanxiang Earl's Palace, and he will definitely be a hero in the future.
Some people also say that Gruen Augustus has no integrity, and is afraid of the power of Nanxiang Count and makes mistakes again and again. These people have doubts about the deaths of Southgate and Bercow, and think that these two people are unworthy.
Lu En carried out the assassination in order to beg for forgiveness. Later Gruen even took the initiative to become Nanxiang Bo's blood vassal, leading the wolf into the house and betraying the family's foundation. Especially in order to establish the inheritance rights of the Liu family's concubine's son, he brutally slaughtered his relatives.
This behavior is simply crazy. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a shame for the imperial nobility.
Of course, no matter what outsiders say, or how complicated the views of other people in the Nanjiu Viscount Mansion are, all the surging undercurrents disappeared after the Nanxiang Bo Guards Fleet arrived in the sky above Nanjiu B.
Gruen completed the unification of forces in the Viscount Palace at an extremely fast speed, and bloodily slaughtered the power-seizing forces that had gradually emerged due to his absence as a hostage in the past two years. Witnessed by the mainstream media of the Nanxiang Star Cluster, Gruen
Re-signed a new and more in-depth strategic cooperation agreement with Nanxiang Earl's Mansion.
When the Nango Hakashi Guards Fleet returned, it seemed to have deliberately passed over the Red Star and almost entered the far-Earth orbit of the Red Star.
Even on the ground, as long as you raise your head slightly, you can see a huge fleet like a brilliant galaxy passing through the sky.
This was a display of power from the Earl's Mansion of Nanxiang, and it even affected the normal scientific research work of Chifeng Star, and also temporarily blocked the return voyage of Chifeng Star's energy supply team from Nanjiu Star.
Although the people inside Chifeng Star were excited, no one rashly asked Ren Zhong for orders to dispatch an armed fleet to press closer to disrupt the formation of the Nanxiang Bo Guards Fleet and drive away these lingering flies as soon as possible.
The reason is very simple. Long before Viscount Nan Jiu returned, Ren Zhong had already analyzed this possibility with Huo Donghua, Ou Youning, Zheng Tian and others.
Ren Zhong's original words are, "If you can't bear anything, you will mess up your plans. At present, the strength of Chifengxing and Nanxiang Bo are completely out of proportion. Even just a caravan on the other side may kill us. Instead of grinning unnecessarily.
, it is better to concentrate on increasing our strength and advance the plan step by step. Maybe some people in the Nanxiang Star Cluster are watching my Uncle Chi Feng joke, but so what? Laughing first is not a real smile, but laughing last is a real hero.
"
Ren Zhong's words appeased many senior officials on Chifeng Star.
Not only that, Zheng Tian instead took advantage of the brief chaos after the Nanxiang Hakko Guards Fleet passed by to send the last batch of improved armed fleets out of Chifeng Star and quietly hid in the outer asteroid belt of Nanjiu System.
Ou Youning finally took the opportunity to set off, talked with Di Baolun face to face, and finalized an in-depth cooperation plan. Before returning to Chifeng Star, he took a walk on South 9d and met many pairs of Gruen...
Augustus's madness dissatisfied the barons and a large number of wealthy merchants.
These people used to be Gruen's base, but after the daughters and grandchildren he married turned into bones, their position inevitably wavered.
Originally, these forces were planning to endure the humiliation and admit it, but Uncle Chi Feng, a potential figure, came to the door with a sincere attitude and a clear plan, so they had no reason not to contact him.
Even if Uncle Chifeng is still no match for Uncle Nanxiang in the future, once Uncle Chifeng passes the review and becomes a real earl, with the help of their internal agents, it will not be difficult to deal with a mere viscount family.
Therefore, although the undercurrent on the bright surface of the Nanjiu Galaxy has disappeared, the deeper undercurrent has not subsided, but has become more turbulent.
Finally, two years later, as the first Nanjiu Viscount's transport fleet left the port and entered the warp subspace passage in front of everyone's attention, it was officially declared that the total blockade of Nanjiu Viscount by Nan Xiangbo had come to an end.
Gruen Augustus used his alternative methods to allow the Augustus family to return to the interstellar stage of the Nanxiang Star Cluster in a way that was both contemptible and secretly enviable.
Next, changes begin to happen.
On the bright side, the situation of Red Front Star has not improved in any way with the relaxation of blockade sanctions. Instead, it has become worse. Even the normal activities of legally exploiting the inexhaustible stellar wind resources have been restricted.
serious interference.
From time to time, Viscount Nanjiu's mining team would have "traffic accidents" mainly involving collisions with Chifeng Star's mining team in the vast space due to various "accidents". Or, Viscount Nanjiu's mining team
Will suddenly open a large-scale capture net, blocking the front of the Chifeng Star mining team. When faced with Chifeng Star’s questioning, Nanjiu Viscount Mansion refused on the grounds that it was experimenting with new equipment and had not yet fully mastered it.
The mining team of Chifeng Star was forced to close the net and change the resource collection location. But not long after, the "scientific research and mining team" of Nanjiu Viscount Mansion followed suit. Chifeng
The star mining team could only retreat again and again, and was finally forced to appear at the top of the Southern Nine Stars. The Viscount Mining Team finally stopped. Although there was no harassment, the longer distance to transport supplies still made Chi Feng feel uncomfortable.
The overall efficiency of the star mining team dropped by more than 30%, and the losses were heavy.
Not only that, the ore mining bases in the inner asteroid belt between Chifeng and Nanjiud often have explosion "accidents" for no reason. These explosions continuously push space meteorites into the starry sky. There are always some meteorites among them.
It will very accidentally cross a long distance, accurately cut into the orbit of Chifeng Star, and then be captured by the gravitational field of Chifeng Star, and then spin towards the surface of Chifeng Star.
These meteorites did not cause much damage on the surface of Chifeng. Most of them burned quickly in the upper atmosphere and turned into meteor showers. However, quantitative changes bring qualitative changes. There are always some meteorites that are lucky enough to hit unlucky satellites and space stations.
, causing large or small damage to the ship.
This disgusting bullshit never stops happening.
But the strange thing is that Uncle Chi Feng never showed the majesty of a dignified count and publicly accused Gruen of being disrespectful. Instead, he announced early that he would enter a long period of cryogenic slumber and would not wake up in a short time.
Without Uncle Chi Feng, a high-ranking nobleman, to support the scene, the governors of Chi Feng Star headed by Huo Donghua really have no choice but to bury their heads in the sand for the time being, and ignore these things, and use the word "forbearance"
Used like fire and pure love, it has developed invulnerability and thick skin.
We really can't blame Huo Donghua for being too weak.
Looking at the Chifeng clan, Ren Zhong enjoys all the power and military exploits alone, so he is the only noble in the whole clan. As for his retainers, not only do they not have titles, they are not as prestigious as Nanxiang Bo's retainers.
There are many forces and assets elsewhere.
Except for those "traitors" who have been expelled from the Red Feng Clan, the normal Red Feng Clan's personal influence in the star cluster is almost zero.
But even in such an unfavorable and frustrating situation, no one in Chifeng Star ever questioned Huo Donghua's weak national policy. They just endured it all silently, hiding their anger in their hearts, and then gritted their teeth and studied hard.
, work, and accumulate technology.
From the outside, it seems that Chifeng Planet has been cornered by Nan Xiangbo and Gruen, and they think that people on this planet may have a hard time even making a living.
From a remote telescope, this is indeed the case.
Chifeng Star has not built any new space ships or space stations for a long time, and the more than 3,000 cities scattered on the surface of Starfall have also stopped expanding.
The only change on the planet's surface is that more and more originally bare hills, plains, hilly areas, deserts, and high mountains have begun to have green plants, and more and more wild animals are active there, and even large-scale wild animals have formed.
Animal communities, such as zebra herds, sheep herds, and elephant herds. A large number of algae, corals, shrimp groups, and even large fish gradually began to appear in the vast sea on Red Front.
It seems that the Chifeng people saw that they could not expand externally, so they simply spent most of their energy on the small matter of completing the planet's ecological environment from scratch, from one to ten thousand places.
Someone in the Nanjiu Viscount's Mansion once suggested that they try to release something to destroy the biosphere of Red Front Star, but Gruen Augustus, who had suffered a big loss from the Star Destroyer Ants, rejected this idea.
Suggestion, only said: "Uncle Chi Feng has actually given up. He has no choice but to use this method to earn more points for himself in the count's review. But what the empire really cares about has never been the so-called ecosystem.
He only cares about achievements in core fields such as scientific research, military, economy, education, racial expression, etc. Now he has gone into hiding and no longer takes risks easily. It is unlikely that he will die in infancy. He will still be more or less a count in the future. I am not suitable
Kill them all. Leave a sliver of humanity so that we can meet again in the future."
While Gruen was saying this, he continued to order people to try to detonate an artificially controlled large-scale stellar flare explosion on Nanjiu Star, so as to cause a certain degree of new trouble to the communications on Chifeng Star.
Of course, the actual situation of Chifengxing is not as bad as outsiders think.
The resources obtained from the Storm and Fang pirates can be used for a long time.
The real core change is not on the surface of the planet, but in the surface cities that have built domes, in the scientific research institutes, universities, and factories in these surface cities.
Chifengxing has advantages in the entire industry chain, technology advantages, species advantages, and the technological reserve advantages brought by its count status.
This planet is accumulating more and more energy in silence. It is like a spring being pressed tighter and tighter.
Amidst such complex changes, three years have passed, and only 60 years have passed since the Earl's review. The expedition fleet finally, with the help of Wen Yuanbo, Viscount Lookout, arrived 0.07 light years away from the Lookout space station.
The final assembly was completed near a haze of space dust.
A bloody storm that will sweep across the entire Broken Star Ring is about to begin.
