The dignified Earl of the Empire did not shy away from anything, and actually openly declared that he wanted to visit the well-known wild frontier area, which was the Shattered Star Ring. It was almost the same as the Earl of the Empire who went to establish a trace colony instead of doing business.
Ren Zhong's move immediately caused another uproar within the Nanxiang Star Cluster and the empire, and the momentum was even greater than the previous lawsuit.
This is not surprising, as the two events are inherently related to the past and the future.
First, the viscount sued the count and attracted people's attention, which led many people to discover Ren Zhong, the "Treasure Earl" whose reputation was not well known. Then, some people secretly promoted the concept of the Chosen One, which created a wave of popularity for Ren Zhong.
Immediately afterwards, Uncle Chi Feng lowered his face and publicly apologized to the mere baron in person, causing new controversy. Some low-ranking people praised Uncle Chi Feng for being fair and upright, able to correct his mistakes when he knows them, and he is also a sincere and considerate servant, so he is worthy of the title.
He has a kind heart and can be regarded as a role model for the earl.
However, there are also people in high positions who are influencing public opinion, criticizing Uncle Chi Feng for not understanding the rules and looking down on himself. These public opinions believe that even if Ren Zhong believes that he has cheated the little baron, he should still hold on to the rank of earl.
You shouldn't apologize easily.
From here we can see that under any system there will be distinctions between classes. Those who praise the heavy responsibilities are probably low-status viscounts, barons, even lords and commoners, while those who criticize and criticize the heavy responsibilities are mostly earls and even those in high positions above.
Most people will only speak from their respective standpoints, and there is no such thing as justice, only interests. The former has a larger number of people, but they speak softly, while the latter has a smaller number of people, but has a high position of power. When the two sides are combined, at least in terms of momentum,
No one loses.
But regardless of good or bad, as long as someone discusses it, it will become popular, and Ren Zhong has gained great popularity in a very short period of time.
This popularity is not a bad thing after all.
At least he's no longer unknown.
Just when the heat was about to cool down as the dust settled in the lawsuit, Ren Zhong, the Chifeng Bo, became a master of creating heat and made another big news. It was the earl who was on tour.
Anyone with a brain knows that Nanxiang Bo Liu An has been dealing with Chi Feng Bo for almost a hundred years, overtly and covertly. Although all kinds of conspiracies and tricks have been repeatedly frustrated, the losses have not been injurious. Chi Feng
Bob must have been troubled too.
The two sides have been at odds for so long. There is no reason why Uncle Chifeng's hundred-year review period is about to end, but Uncle Nanxiang is shrinking back.
So, Uncle Chi Feng personally went on a patrol this time and sent himself to the Broken Star Ring area that could not be "covered" by the Empire's super network. It was simply because he became careless after winning too much and sought death. It was simply called winning.
"I once thought that Uncle Chi Feng might really be the chosen one gifted to the empire by the universe, and I was just a little bit tempted to take action to get him personally. But his actions are too amateurish, which proves that he is the chosen one.
It's an embarrassment for such a big job, and he is still far away from being the real chosen one. Could it be that he himself believed the rumors on the Internet and started to feel pretentious, really thinking that he was favored by the universe and could not die no matter what?
, or do you think there will be some Bole who will appreciate it, suppress Liu An again, and help him rise to prominence?"
"Stupid! Absolutely stupid! He really never thought that if he found an opportunity for Liu An, he would really kill him. As long as there is no solid evidence, a new Four Kingdoms War is coming, and Liu An, as the commander of the army, can rest easy.
Will Liu An definitely not miss this God-given opportunity? If I were Uncle Chifeng, now that the situation is great, I have gained a reputation, and I am in the eyes of the higher-ups, I should just be honest and wait for another two or three years.
Once the review period is over, you can be reused no matter what. Even if you are transferred away from the Nanxiang Star Cluster and go to another newly opened frontline star cluster, it is not impossible to surpass Liu An's power in time. You are so stupid!"
"It's such a pity. According to the report from the Royal Academy of Sciences, the Chifeng tribe's ability to absorb and digest the earl's knowledge is ten times faster than that of ordinary newly promoted earl people. The main reason they rely on it is that Uncle Chifeng himself can always simplify the complex and enlighten him.
Others. With a scholar like him leading the way, those wise people in the Chifeng tribe who have little knowledge can overcome difficulties and overcome difficulties. It has been a long time since the empire has seen such a scientific all-rounder. Unexpectedly, he is a
Political idiot."
"Should we give instructions privately and force Uncle Nanxiang to stay alive?"
"The battlefield in the starry sky is changing rapidly. A single penetration and detonation can easily result in tens of thousands of casualties. How can we hold back?"
"Then force Uncle Nanxiang not to send troops?"
"It's meaningless. Of course Liu An won't send troops, but it's all on the surface and just a lie. He has raised so many pirates in the Broken Star Ring who don't use the Empire's super network in name only. Isn't that just for this?
Is this something that needs to be covered up? For thousands of years, many potential viscounts in the Nanxiang Star Cluster have been wiped out by the suppression and raids of these pirate groups. To put it bluntly, isn’t it all Uncle Nanxiang who is maintaining his rule? I’m wrong.
The mistake was that Uncle Chifeng underestimated Liu An's decisive temperament and underestimated the stimulation that having an extra earl in the Nanxiang Star Cluster would bring to Liu An. Perhaps he also underestimated the potential that his Chifeng clan had shown in a hundred years.
Even if the review is completed now, Uncle Chi Feng has already received the highest level of evaluation. But the more potential he has, the less likely Liu An will let him go."
…
The public opinions outside are agitated, but the matter is explained clearly. There is no doubt that everyone feels that Uncle Chi Feng, who has just emerged and rarely enters the high-level view of the empire, has a heavy responsibility and this is the way to die.
But no matter what outsiders say, no matter what the Royal Viscount Wen Yuanbo and other forces in the Nanxiang Star Cluster who secretly have good relations with the Chifeng Clan advise him, Ren Zhong within his own forces always sticks to his word and follows the law.
Following his order, the army that the Chifeng tribe had accumulated for decades brazenly opened up its formation and began to assemble in space.
Previously, in order to avoid attracting attention, Chifeng Star had been producing various warships and flying vehicles like dumplings, but most of them were hidden on the surface of the planet and used meteorological satellites to create interference to cover their whereabouts.
So far, except for the general who is in charge of logistics and commanding the overall situation, the ordinary sergeants on Chifeng Planet do not know how many warships they have.
The commanders of each squadron did not know how many colleagues they had at the same level.
Now, Chifengxing, who has been working hard for nearly a hundred years, has finally come to the conclusion and announced to the world what the real unique skills of this special race of his are, apart from scientific research, production and finance.
Nothing else but war.
One after another, large warships with their own gravity engines rose into the sky from the surface of Chifeng Star, and they were densely packed like a river pouring back into the sky.
One after another, huge super alloy ropes hang down from large space stations in space orbit, hanging on the surface of the planet, like banyan tree roots, forming a steel forest that covers almost the entire surface of Chifeng Planet.
One after another, ships without powerful gravity engines were mechanically lifted on the land by giant arch bridges, sent to these super alloy ropes, and then hung up by many fasteners, pulled and quickly lifted into the air.
One after another, large cargo boxes filled with individual space crafts drove toward the sky along ten space elevator trains.
It took the army half a month to complete its assembly.
At this time, as many as 30,000 large warships had formed a total of thirty large-scale battle formations in the far-Earth orbit of Chifeng Star.
Beside these 30,000 battleships, there are fifty large space stations that were originally designated as scientific research, production, residential areas, etc., and they have undergone gorgeous transformations, revealing their ferocious fangs, revealing their true identity as space fortresses.
Behind the battle formation, there are as many as one million medium-sized warships with an average number of combatants of more than a thousand.
As for the larger number of micro-sized flying vehicles, they are each hidden in space fortresses and battleships.
"The total military strength exceeds 2 billion, and the combat scale and simulated combat effectiveness even completely exceed the total of the defense forces of the five complete planetary systems. Soldiers account for more than 20% of the total population! This Uncle Chi Feng is simply militaristic and crazy! He just
Aren’t you afraid of affecting economic production?”
When the spies sent the information to the Earl's Mansion in Nanxiang, Liu An subconsciously said this.
But he soon realized that what he said was unreasonable.
The reason is very simple. Facts speak louder than words. Judging from the development index of the Chifeng people's economy, production, scientific research, finance and other aspects, it cannot be considered to be affected.
"What is the origin of the genes of this group of colonizers, and how could they be like this? What is their evolutionary trend? How come they can do everything?"
Liu An was also confused now.
At the beginning, because the Origin Star Fleet had the merits of annihilating the god-level demons and the fourth-level mother queen, Liu An once thought that this was a branch of humanity that mainly had war potential.
But later, Ren Zhong led the Chifeng Academy of Science to create miracles, quickly transformed the planet, and sent the Chifeng tribe out to be hired. Liu An also felt that the Chifeng tribe's previous elimination of demons and fourth-class queens might be based on luck.
Essentially, it is a branch of humanity that specializes in scientific research and production.
Then, the expedition team led by Zheng Tian caught him off guard again, making him doubt his own judgment, but he also felt that it might just be the invisible paint and technological advantages that created a military advantage for the Chifeng expedition team and did not affect the evaluation of racial bias.
But now, he can't understand it anymore.
No matter how confused Liu An was there, Ren Zhong, who was sitting in the command ship, was staring at the projection screen with a slightly nervous expression.
On the projection screen, four pictures are displayed simultaneously, all of which are simulated and evolved battlefield scenes.
The final selection of the commander-in-chief of the second expeditionary fleet is under way.
After half a month of competition, the former commander of the Second Army of the Spark Army Guo Denghuai, the former leader of the Nangao Zhenhuang people Yuan Qinhu, the former high-level gunsmith Song Muen's adopted son Song Qingqiao, and the later Jin juniors from Chifeng Military Academy also
Ying Hao's fifth-generation great-grandson Ying Zhenshan stood out and entered the final competition.
At this time, these four people are dispatching their own troops and generals on the simulated battlefield created by Sun Ai to deal with the simulated enemy with ten times the strength. The final winner will have the opportunity to take power.
In fact, according to the wishes of Jin Simin and others, they hope that Ren Zhong will personally take charge of the situation.
But this time the responsibilities are different.
By then, I'm afraid he himself will have no time to take care of other things. He will have to use all his strength to take care of himself, and he will no longer be able to control the overall situation like a true commander-in-chief.
Furthermore, he has always been very clear that although he is smart, he has inherent shortcomings, that is, he is too kind and can never change. He is not suitable to be the commander-in-chief of the entire army. It is better to have a dedicated person dedicated to it, and the capable person should be placed there.
Nowadays, as Zheng Tian's hand-written military books have been widely popularized in the general class of Chifeng Military Academy, the old team members and the new ones have gradually transformed and emerged.
Not to mention the four people who entered the finals, there were a total of sixteen people in the last round of eliminations. Everyone among them was as good as Zheng Tian in terms of commanding ability, but they just lacked experience. Anyway, they were much better than him.
.
Ren Zhong gradually realized that it was time to further delegate power.
Of course, being able to get these people is not because of his good fortune, but because the Chifeng tribe is really superior in commanding battle formations. Everything must have a reason. The reason why we can achieve this now is ultimately due to sixty years of journey and a century-old journey.
The military morale brought about by small and large battles, as well as military training that has never been relaxed, and many other factors have come together to achieve positive results.
Surprisingly, although two veteran generals participated in the competition, the final winner was Ying Zhenshan, who is now only 30 years old.
This Ying Zhenshan's eyebrows look very similar to those of Ying Hao back then. He has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and looks like a hero.
Although he is very young, his reputation within Chifeng Star is not small.
As early as thirty years ago, Ying Zhenshan quietly followed the transport ship to the front line of Broken Star Ring after graduating from the military academy.
In the past thirty years, Ying Zhenshan has participated in hundreds of large and small battles in the Broken Star Ring since he was a young captain. He must win every battle and make extraordinary achievements. He is definitely not a nerd who has just graduated.
On the contrary, he is a seasoned commander who has experienced hundreds of battles.
After stabilizing in the Broken Star Ring, Ying Zhenshan returned to the military academy, re-read Zheng Tian's military books, and repeatedly put forward his own new insights. He was highly regarded. He was elected as a professor in the military academy at the age of only thirty years old and enjoyed great reputation.
Extremely high.
After the commander was selected, Ren Zhong presided over a simple awarding ceremony. After giving the order, the army immediately launched and rushed straight through the subspace passage in a mighty manner.
Different from the many sneaky trips in the past, this time the Second Expeditionary Fleet showed its carriage and horses openly and openly.
Of course, on the surface, Ren Zhong promoted this fleet to the outside world as a transportation team. After all, he was going to the Shattered Star Ring for construction.
Depending on the exit chosen by the Second Expeditionary Force, this jump voyage will last for 13 months.
By then, this fleet will arrive at the outer reaches of the main star area of the Nanxiang Star Cluster, and then head to the star area where the Golden Dog Pirate Group is based in the Broken Star Ring.
Even though Ren Zhong has done some confidentiality work, this route is not difficult to guess and can be seen through simple calculations.
But on the other hand, under Liu An's final bet, Gruen Augustus used the Pacquiao Pirates as a breakthrough to win over the Five Elders ahead of schedule.
Liu An made an offer that no one could refuse.
Once the Five Elders can handle their heavy responsibilities, he will return the Broken Star Ring to the imperial system after becoming a Marquis, and canonize the Five Elders as the Noble Viscount Family at the same time, and divide the Broken Star Ring into five, directly
